William 


^0  BLAKE. 

William  Lemon,  the  grandfather  of  the  bart.,  had  vc.v 
extensive  mining  and  commercial  concerns,  co.  Cornwall. 
His  son,  William,  m.  Anne,  da.  of  John  Williams,  of  Car- 
nanton,  co.  Cornwall,  esq.  by  Anne,  only  da.  of  John  Oli- 
ver, of  Falmouth,  esq.  by  whom  he  had  2  sons  and  2  das.  : 
1.  sir  William,  1st  bait.;  2.  a  da.  who  d.  young;  3.  Anne, 
wife  of  JohnBuller,  of  Morval,co.  Cornwall,  esq. ;  4.  John, 
col.  of  the  Cornwall  and  Devon  miners,  who  was  formerly 
in  parliament  for  Westloo  and  Saltash,  but  since  the  year 
17  96  has  represented  the  borouah  of  Truro;  d.  April 
1814.  l 

From  the  Saxons  to  the  period  of  Edward  I.  1299,  we 
have  many  documents  respecting  the  Cornish  Mines.  The 
Saxons  employed  the  Saracens,  or  the  Phoenicians,  in  Corn- 
wall, to  work  them;  and  subsequent  to  the  Norman  con- 
quest, the  Jews  were  the  sole  managers  of  mining  concerns. 
In  the  time  of  Richard,  King  of  the  Romans,  and  1st  earl 
ot  Cornwall,  their  produce  was  immense;  and  to  him  the 
Jews  were  farmed  out  by  his  brother,  Henry  III.  At  this 
period,  the  tin  mines  in  Spain, being  obstructed  by  the 
Moors,  and  none  having  been  then  discovered  in  Germany, 
Malabar,  or  the  East  Indies,  Richard,  earl  of  Cornwall,  en- 
grossed the  whole  tin  trade  in  Europe.

1774.  J    *

This  family  is  a  branch  of  the  noble  family  of  Morton,

distinguished  services  ;  and  his  subsequent  career  was  still 
more  brilliant  in  proportion  as  rank  and  power  gave  a  field 
for  his  talents  and  activity  of  mind.  When  he  was  not  ac- 
tually employed  at  sea,  he  devoted  himself  to  the  laborious 
and  difficult  task  of  improving  the  military  equipment  of 
the  service.  Gunnery  was  his  favourite  pursuit;  and  the 
naval  service  is  indebted  to  him  for  some  of  the  greatest 
improvements  that  were  made,  in  his  day,  in  this  branch  of 
the  profession.  Among  many  others,  sir  Charles  introduced 
the  use  of  locks  into  the  navy. 

After  a  service  of  four  years  in  the  command  of  the  Stir- 
ling Castle  of  64  guns,  and  the  Duke  of  98  guns,  sir  Charles 
was  appointed  captain  of  the  fleet  destined  to  serve  under 
sir  George  Rodney ;  and  in  the  memorable  battle  of  the 
12th  of  April  1782,  sir  Charles's  superior  abilities  shone 
conspicuously,  and  procured  him  the  highest  encomiums  his 
chief  could  bestow,  and  a  large  share  in  the  fame  of  that 
glorious  day.  Sir  Charles  afterwards  commanded  a  squa- 
dron on  the  coast  of  America,  and  in  1789  had  hoisted  his 
flag  for  another  foreign  command,  when  he  d.  suddenly, 
10  March,  and  was  succeeded  by  his  son, 

II.  Sir  WILLIAM-HENRY,  vice  admiral  of  the  blue, 
who  dying  unm.  was  succeeded  by  his  brother, 

III.  Sir  HOWARD,  baronet.

Sir 


BICKERTON.  791 

•  Sir  Richard  was  appointed  a  captain  R.N.,  8  Feb.  1781  ; 
rear-admiral,  14  Feb.  1799  j  and  vice-admiral  of  the  white 
squadron,  9  Nov.  1805. 

I.  Sir  RICHARD,  knt.,  created  a  baronet,  as  above, 
was  bred  at  Westminster  school,  and  entered  R.N.,  and 
received  his  first  commission  as  lieutenant,  in  Feb.  1715-6  ; 
in  1759  he  was  rated  post  in  theCulloden,  and  immediately 
after  sailed  for  the  West  Indies  in  the  Glasgow  of  20  guns. 
Having  displayed  much  activity  and  gallantry  in  that  quar- 
ter, he  returned  to  Europe  in  1761,  and  served  for  some 
time  on  the  home  station.  In  1767,  he,  a  2d  time,  pro- 
ceeded to  the  West  Indies  in  the  Renown  ;  but  quitting 
that  ship,  he  remained  unemployed  till  the  end  of  the  year 
1770,  when,  on  the  apprehended  rupture  with  Spain,  he 
was  appointed  to  the  Marlborough,  of  74  guns.  When  his 
majesty  reviewed  the  fleet  at  Portsmouth  in  1773,  captain 
Bickerton  had  the  honour  of  steering  his  majesty's  barge! 
on  winch  occasion  he  received  the  honour  of  knighthood, 
on  board  the  Earflcur.  On  quitting  the  Marlborough,  sir 
Richard  was  appointed  to  the  Augusta  yacht,  in  which  he 
continued  till  theyear  1777,  when  the  dispute  with  America 
having  commenced,  he  was  nominated  to  the  Terrible,  of 
74  guns,  in  which  ship  he  was  present  at  the  encounter 
which  took  place  with  Le  Comte  D'Orviiliers,  offUshant, 
on  the  27  th  of  July.  In  the  May  preceding,  when  the  2d 
naval  review  took  place,  sir  Richard  was  advanced  to  the 
dignity  of  a  baronet  of  Great  Britain.  In  April  1778,  be- 
ing on  a  cruise  in  the  bay,  in  company  with  the  Ramilies, 
he  fell  in  with  a  French  convoy  of  30  sail  of  merchantmen, 
of  which  8,  or  more,  became  their  prize.  In  Feb.  1782,  he 
sailed  with  the  convoy  for  India  with  a  considerable  force, 
and  joined  sir  Edward  Hughes  there,  just  in  time  to  share 
the  encounter  with  M.  de  Suffrein,  20  June  1783.  In  1786 
he  was  appointed  commodore  on  the  Leeward  Island  sta- 
tion, but  on  account  of  indisposition,  resigned  his  command. 
In  Sept.  1787,  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  rear-admi- 
ral of  the  blue.  In  1790  he  hoisted  his  flag  on  board  the 
Impregnable,  in  the  Chaunel  fleet:  ?«.,  1758,  Maria-Anne,

HERON,  of  Neyvark-tjpon  Trent,  co.  Nottingham, 
25  July  1778. 

Sir  ROBERT  HERON,  Bart.,  born  17C5,  succeeded 
his  uncle,  Sir  Richard,  in  Jan.  1805  :  married,  Jan.  9,  1792, 
Amelia,  daughter  of  Sir  Horace  Mann,  Bart,,  by  Lucy, 
daughter  of  Baptist  Noel,  Earl  of  Gainsborough. 

The  names  of  Herioun  and  Hern  are  in  the  Battle  Abbey 
Roll,  "of  such  noblemen  and  gentlemen  of  marque,  as 
came  into  England  with  the  Duke  of  Normandy." 

The  duke  not  having  fully  reduced  Northumberland, 
Henry  I.  his  son,  to  effect  the  reduction,  and  create  a  bar- 
rier against  Scotland,  divided  Northumberland  into  feudal 
baronies,  one  of  which,  the  Barony  of  Heron,  whereof 
Haddeston  was  the  head,  he  granted  in  liod  to  the  an- 
cestor of  sir  Richard.     In  1296  ^it  descended  to  Emeline, 

the 


HERON.  793 

the  heir-general  of  William,  lord  Heron,  her  grandfather. 
She  in.  John,  lord  Darcy ;  and  in  1536,  the  baronies  of 
Darcy  and  Heron  were  forfeited  by  the  attainder  of  their 
descendant,  Thomas,  lord  Darcy. 

Upon  the  descent  of  Haddeston  toEmeline  Heron,  Ford 
Castle  became  the  chief  seat  of  this  family,  which  divided 
mto  many  branches  ;  particularly  those  of  Ford  Castle 
Bokenfield,  Chipchase,  Applynden,  Cressy,  and  New- 
ark; several  of  whom  had  summons  to  parliament  in  temp. 
Edw.  III.  Rich.  II.,  and  Hen.  IV.  Camden,  in  his  "  Britan- 
nia," calls  this  bellicosa  et  clam  familia  Heronorum. — It  is 
one  of  the  270  most  ancient  and  noble  families  of  England 
(the  barons  by  tenure),  of  which  there  remained  only  24 
male  branches  in  1675,  when  Dugdale  published  his 
History  of  the  Feudal  Barons.  Some  of  the  branches  at 
length  failed  for  want  of  male  heirs,  and  others  united 
again  the  ancestors  of  the  baronet.  The  pedigree  is  curi- 
ously preserved  through  all  the  branches,  and  it  appears 
that  in  1682,  on  the  death  of  John,  the  last  Heron  of  Boken- 
field, without  issue  male,  Robert  Heron,  of  Newark,  his 
first  cousin,  became  chief  of  the  family.  He  m.  Mary  Hob- 
man,  of  Newark,  co.  Notts,  and  d.  16  May  1709;  John 
Heron,  his  son,  m.  Jane,  da.  of  Richard  Crayie,  of  Newark, 
and  d.  18  Dec.  1727;  his  eldest  and  only  surviving  son, 
Robert  Heron,  some  time  town-clerk,  and  afterwards  re- 
corder of  Newark,  m.  Elizabeth  Brecknock,  of  Thorney- 
Abbey,  and  d.  10  Aug.  1753,  having  had  issue  4  sons ;  viz. 
1.  John,  recorder  of  Newark,  d.  at  Pans,  8  Sept.  1753  ;  2. 
Thomas,  of  Chilham-Castle,  co.  Kent,  recorder  of  Newark, 
m.  1st,  Anne,  da.  of  sir  Edward  Wilmot,  bart,  physician 
to  the  king,  by  whom  he  had  issue,  sir  Robert,  2d  bart. :  he

holy  orders,  m.  Anne  Pechell,  and  d.  19  Jan.  1813,  without 
issue;  4.  Richard. 

I.  The  right  lion,  sir  RICHARD  HERON,  created  a 
baronet  25  July  1778,  with  remainder  to  the  issue  male  of 
his  brother,  Thomas  Heron,  of  Chilham-Castle,  co.  Kent,

privy-counsellor  of  Ireland  in  1777,  and  held  the  office  of 
chief  secretary  nearly  4  years  under  the  viceroyaity  of 
John,  2d  earl  of  Buckinghamshire.  Sir  Richard  m.  Jane

COPLEY,  of  Sprotboroi  ch,  co.  York. 
15  Aug.  1778. 

Sir  JOSEPH  COPLEY,  Bart.,  succeeded  his  father  Sir 
Lionel,  11  April  1801 :  married  23  May  1799,  Cecil  Hamil- 
ton (to  whom  his  Majesty  granted  the  precedence  of  an 
Earl's  daughter,  1789),  8th  daughter  of  the  Hon.  and  Rev. 
George  Hamilton,  4th  son  of  James,  7th  Earl  of  Abercorn. 
Her  Ladyship's  marriage  with  her  first  cousin,  John-James, 
Marquess  of  Abercorn,  K.G.,  was  dissolved  by  Act  of  Par- 
liament in  1798. 

This  ancient  family  is  descended  from  Adam  de  Copley  (a 
place  so  styled  in  Yorkshire,  from  a  great  copp,  or  bank, 
under  which  it  is  situated),  who  was  killed  at  the  siege  of 
York  1070,  and  from  whom  the  Copleys,  also  of  Gatton,  co. 
Surrey  (who  are  particularly  noticed  in  Manning's  History 
of  that  country),  derive  their  name,  and  origin.  They  are 
also  allied  by  marriage  with  the  Fitzwilliam  family,  whose 

ancestor, 


WOMBWELL.  799 

Ancestor,  sir  William  Fitzwilliam,  attended  William  the 
conqueror,  and  for  his  distinguished  bravery  at  the  battle 
of  Hastings,  gave  him  a  scarf  from  his  own  arm.  Sprot- 
brough,  near  Doncaster,  from  this  period  became  the  chief 
residence  of  the  family,  and  here  sir  John  Fitzwilliam,  one 
of  sir  William's  descendants,  who  lived  during  the  reign  of 
king  Henry  V.,  caused  a  cross  to  be  erected  (which  was 
pulled  down  in  1520)  not  far  from  the  church,  with  these 
lines  engraved  upon  it  in  brass: — 
"  Whoso  is  hungry  and  liste  to  eate 

Let  him  come  to  Sprotbrough  to  his  meate; 

And  for  a  night  and  for  a  day 

His  horse  shall  have  both  corn  and  hay, 

And  no  man  shall  ask  him  when  he  goeth  away." 

Sir  Joseph  is  paternally  descended  from  Joseph,  brother 
©f  Waiter  Moyle,  an  ingenious  and  learned  writer,  sealed 
at  Bake,  co.  Cornwall,  who  d.  9  June  1721,  aged  49.

Sir  JAMES-MILLES  RIDDELL,  D.C.L.,  succeeded  his

sue twins,  a  son  and  a  daughter,  bom  25  Dec.  1822. 

Few  families  have  claims  to  higher  antiquity  than  that  of 
Ridel,  or  Riddell ;  and  fewer  still  have  such  grounds  upon 
which  to  establish  their  pretensions.  Indeed  the  authori- 
ties supporting  their  history  are  such  as  rarely  occur  in 
genealogy,  particularly  at  a  period  so  early  as  that  in  which 
it  commences.  This  family  derives  its  origin  from  the 
counts  or  earls  of  Angoulesme,  in  France.  Wulgrinus, 
styled  a  kinsman  to  Charles  the  Bald,  king  of  Fiance  and 
E  3  emperor

earl  Theodorick,  one  of  the  chief  captains  under  Charle- 
magne, and  was  afterwards  canonized.  In  right  of  Rosa- 
linda, Wulgrinus  acquired  the  earldom  of  Agen.  By  her 
he  had  2  sons,  i.  Alduin  (so  called  after  his  paternal  uncle, 
Alduin,  the  famous  abbot  of  St.  Denis,  and  chief  minister  of 
France,  under  Lewis  le  Debonnaire),  who  succeeded  to  the 
earldom  of  Angoulesme  ;  and  2.  William,  who  had  for  his 
inheritance  the  earldoms  of  Perigord  and  Agen,  ancestor  of 
the  earls  of  Perigord,  which  branch  was  afterwards  united 
to  tliis  family.  Wulgrinus,  d.  886.  Alduin,  earl  of  Angou- 
lesme, rebuilt  the  walls  of  this  chief  city  of  his  principality, 
in  order  to  defend  it  against  the  incursions  of  the  Normans, 
who  at  that  time  grievously  infested  the  country.  He  d. 
916,  and  was  succeeded  by  his  son,  Wm.,  snrnamed  the 
Sector-ferri,  orTaille-fer,  that  is,  Iron-cutter.  He  acquired 
this  name  from  his  having,  in  an  engagement  with  the  Nor- 
mans, cloven  through,  with  one  stroke  of  his  sword,  the 
body  of  Storis,  their  king,  though  clad  in  armour.  He  was 
succeeded,  963,  by  his  son,  Arnold,  earl  of  Angoulesme, 
who  became  a  monk  998,  and  was  succeeded  by  his  son,

ing from  the  Holy  Land,  1028,  leaving  2  sous,  Alduin  and 
Galfridus.  Alduin  d.  1034,  and  was  succeeded  by  his 
brother,  Galfridus,  who  in.  Petronilla,  da.  and  heiress  of 
Marnard,  surnamed  the  Rich,  baron  of  Archiac  and  Bota-

Fulco,  enrl  of  Angoulesme  (this  branch  ended  in  Isabella,

day,  has  been  descended) ;  and  2.  Galfridus,  ancestor  of  this

warlike  exploits.  He  assisted  the  Normans  in  the  reduction

against  England,  where  he  was  rewarded  by  that  prince 

with

v.ith  large  grants  of  land.  He  m.  the  sisler  of  Roger  Bigot, 
earl  of  Norfolk,  by  whom  he  left  4  sons,  1.  Galfridus  ;  2. 
Hugh,  who  was  father  of  Reginald,  and  grandfather  of 
Hugh  II.,  who  having  no  male  issue, his  grandda.  Margaret,

office  under  the  crown,  in  the  time  of  Henry  I.,  but  suffer- 
ed shipwreck,  and  was  drowned  with  prince  Win.  king 
Henry's  son,  1120.  His  wife  was  Geva,  da.  of  Hugh  Lupus, 
earl  of  Chester  (and  Geva,  his  1st  wife,  da.  of  Robt.  de 
Buci),  nephew  to  V/m.  the  Conqueior,  by  whom  he  had  only 
1  da.  Matilda,  who  became  his  heir,  wife  of  Richd.  Basset, 
lord  justiciary  of  England  to  king  Henry  I.,  after  the  death 
of  Galfridus,  his  father-in-law.  He  was  of  an  ancient  and 
noble  family,  being  the  son  of  Ralph  Basset,  lord  justiciary 
of  England.  The  issue  cf  this  marriage  was  4  sons,  1.  Gal- 
fridus, who,  in  honour  of  his  mother,  assumed  the  name  of 
Ridel,  and  was  ancestor  of  this  family  ;  2.  Ralph,  ancestor 
of  the  Bassets  of  Drayton,  peers  of  the  realm.  This  branch 
ended  in  heirs  female,  married  into  the  families  of  Beau- 
champ,  earl  of  Warwick,  the  earls  of  Stafford,  and  the 
Chaworths ;  3.  Win.  ancestor  of  the  Bassets  of  Sapcope,

IV.  was  baron  Blaye,  in  France,  and  held  great  possessions 
in  England.  He  afterwards  entered  into  the  church,  and 
became  the  chief  support  of  the  king  against  Thomas  a 
Becket.  He  was  archdeacon  of  Canterbury,  while  that  see 
was  filled  by  Becket,  who  gave  him  the  name  of  the  arch- 
devil  of  Canterbury.  Galfridus  afterwards  became  bishop 
of  Ely,  and  grand  justiciary  of  the  realm.  During  the  whole 
reign  of  Henry  II.  he  was  employed  in  the  most  important 
services.  He  d.  1189,  leaving  immense  wealth,  which  king 
Richd.  I.  seized,  on  account  of  his  having  d.  intestate. 

Galfridus,  by  his  1st  wife,  had  2  sons,  Galfridus  and 
Richd.  The  former  succeeded  to  the  principality  of  Blaye, 
and  is  the  celebrated  Troubadour,  whose  poetry  and  adven- 
tures are  of  the  most  singular  nature  which  the  ages  of  chi- 
valry ever  produced.  He  d.  of  love  at  Tripoli.  Richd. 
the  2d  son,  upon  his  brother's  death,  succeeded  to  almost 
all  the  estates  in  England.    This  Richd.  had  reassumed  the 

surname 


804  RIDDELL. 

surname  of  Basset.  Galfridus's  2d  wife  was  Sabilla, 
sister  to  Wm.  Mauduit,  lord  of  Hanslap,  and  ancestor  of  the 
earls  of  Warwick.  By  her  he  left  2  sons  and  1  da.  Hugh, 
the  eldest  son,  is  the  direct  ancestor  of  this  family.  Win. 
the  2d  son,  was  high  chancellor  of  Scotland,  under  Wm.  the 
Lion.  He  d.  1214.  Hugh  Ridel  obtained  the  principality 
of  Blaye  upon  the  death  of  his  half-brother,  Galfridus  V., 
and  7u.  Margaret,  da.  and  heiress  of  Peter  de  Sancto  Me- 
dardo,  or  Semerc.  He  was  a  most  powerful  baron,  and  in 
1174  was  one  of  the  hostages  to  Henry  II.  for  Wm.  the 
Lion,  king  of  Scotland,  when  taken  prisoner  at  the  battle 
of  Alnwick.  To  that  prince  he  was  allied  through  the  An- 
jou,  Chester,  and  St.  Liz  families.  Galfridus,  son  of  Hugh, 
lord  of  Blaye,  &c.  was  one  of  the  barons  who  conspired 
against  king  John,  1212. 

It  would  far  exceed  the  limits  of  this  work  to  particu- 
larize the  several  succeeding  personages  of  this  family, 
which  seems  to  have  preserved,  in  a  great  measure,  its 
grandeur  and  importance  until  the  reign  of  Henry  VI., 
when  they  entirely  lost  their  possessions  in  France,  and 
much  of  their  English  property.  In  the  16th  century,  John 
Riddell,  of  Sallowes,  esq.,  then  head  of  the  family  removed 
into  Scotland,  where  they  have  ever  since  been  seated. 
Jas.  lliddcll,  of  Kinglass,  co.  Linlithgow,  esq.,  was  a  very 
conspicuous  and  much-respected  character  in  the  time  of  the 
commonwealth,  and  in  the  reign  of  Charles  II.  Jas.  his 
eldest  son,  was  a  capt.  in  the  service  of  the  States  of  Hol- 
land. He  greatly  encumbered  his  paternal  estate.  Dying 
unm.  in  1688,  he  was  succeeded  by  his  brother,  Geo.  who 
m.  Jane,  eldest  da.  of  capt.  Jno.  Tailzeour,  by  whom  he 
had  6  sons  and  8  das.  He  was  succeeded,  1706,  by  his  only 
surviving  son,  Geo.  who  m.  Christiana,  da.  of  Andrew  Pa- 
terson,  esq.,  by  whom  he  had  9  sons  and  6  das.

FARMER,  of  Mount  Pleasant,  co.  Sussex. 
Oct.  26,  1779. 

This  family  is  descended  from  the  Farmers,  of  Youghall, 
co.  York,  of  which  place  the  late  baronet's  father  was  a  na- 
tive. 

Capt. 


808  FARMER. 

Capt.  Farmer,  being  on  a  cruise  off  Ushant,  in  company 
with  the  Rambler  cutter,  came  up  with,  and  closely  en- 
gaged, a  large  French  frigate,  called  the.  Surveillante, 
mounting  40  guns,  while  the  Rambler  was  engaged  with  a 
French  cutter,  as  superior  in  force  as  the  French  frigate 
was  to  the  Quebec.  The  action  on  both  sides  was  warm 
and  bloody  for  6  hours,  when  the  French  cutter  bore  away; 
but  the  Rambler  was  too  much  disabled  in  her  masts  and 
rigging  to  follow  her  with  any  hopes  of  coming  up.  The 
commander,  therefore,  seeing  both  the  frigates  dismasted, 
and  the  Quebec  take  fire,  endeavoured  to  get  as  near  the 
Quebec  as  possible,  in  hopes  of  saving  some  of  her  men  ; 
but  there  being  little  wind,  and  a  large  swell,  no  other  as- 
sistance could  be  afforded,  than  by  hoisting  out  the  boat, 
which  nicked  up  one  master's  mat*1,  two  young  midshipmen, 
and  1-1  more  of  the  Quebec's  people,  the  enemy's  frigate, 
at  the  same  time,  firing  at  the  boat.  The  Quebec  con- 
tinued to  burn  very  fiercely  for  4  hours,  when  she  blew  up. 

Words  cannot  describe  the  gallantry  and  magnanimity 
displayed  by  Capt.  Farmer  on  this  occasion,  not  only  in  the 
engagement,  but  in  the  fatal  catastrophe  with  which  it  was 
attended.  Having  his  arm  broken  towards  the  close  of  the 
engagement,  he  tied  his  handkerchief  round  the  shattered 
part  of  the  bone,  and  then  addressed  his  men  as  follows : 
"  My  lads  !  this  is  warm  work  ;  therefore  keep  up  your  fire 
with  double  spirit;  we  will  die  or  conquer  !" 

When  the  ship  took  fire,  the  captain,  the  first  lieutenant, 
and  many  of  the  crew,  remained  on  board  ;  but  most  of  the 
men  jumped  into  the  sea,  where  numbers  perished  in  sight 
of  those  on  board  the  ship.  The  fire  now  raging  with  more 
violence,  the  captain  was  requested  to  attempt  saving  him- 
self; but  he  refused  every  solicitation,  and  declared  he 
would  not  quit  the  ship  while  there  remained  another  man 
on  board.  By  degrees  the  number  of  his  companions  grew 
less  and  less,  and  he  saw  inevitable  destruction  fast  ap- 
proaching ;  he  entreated  the  remainder  to  jump  into  the 
sea,  whilst  he  sat  on  the  fluke  of  the  sheet-anchor,  waiting, 
with  heroic  fortitude,  the  dreadful  explosion,  which,  at 
last,  numbered  him  with  departed  heroes. 

I.  Sir  GEORGE,  created  a  bait.  26  Oct.,  1779,  in  re- 
muneration of  the  gallant  services  of  his  father  ;  m.,  Oct. 
1786,  Sophia,  3d  da.  of  Richd.  Kenrick,  of  Nautelwyd,  co. 
Denbigh,  esq.  Sir  Geo.-Wm.  d.  in  consequence  of  a  fall 
from  his  gig,  26  May,  1814,  when  it  is  presumed  the  title 
became  extinct.

5  May  1807.  His  works  on  financial  subjects,  and  liU 
practical  as  well  as  theoretical  exertions  in  matters  of 
agriculture  and  civil  economy,  have  deservedly  made  his 
name  celebrated;  and,  on  the  whole,  it  is  uncommon  to 
meet  with  an  individual  who  has  endeavoured  to  do  more 
private  good,  or  who  has  paid  such  successful  attention  to 
so  great  a  variety  of  public  objects,  interesting  to  the  dis- 
trict which  gave  him  birth,  to  the  country  in  which  he  lives, 
or  to  maukind  in  general.

COLQUHOUN,  of  Luss,  co.  Dumbarton. 

Created  Baronet  of  Scotland,  1  August  1625; 
and  of  Great  Britain,  10  June  1786. 

Sir  JAMES  COLQUHOUN,  Bart.,  succeeded  his  fa- 
ther,  Sir  James,  in  1805  ;  M.P.  for  the  County  of  Dum- 
barton in  1802 ;  married,  in  1802,  Janet,  daughter  of  the 
Right  Hon.  Sir  John  Sinclair,  of  Ulbster,  Bart.,  and  has 
issue,  1.  James;  2.  John;  3.  William;  4.  Sarah-Maitland ; 
and  5.  Helen. 

The  traditional  accounts  of  the  origin  of  this  ancient 
family  are  various.  Some  authors  deduce  their  descent 
from  a  younger  son  of  Conoch,  a  king  of  Ireland,  who  came 
to  Scotland  in  the  reign  of  Gregory  the  Great,  and  ob- 
tained from  that  prince  some  lands  in  Dumbartonshire,  to 
which  he  gave  the  name  of  Conochon,  which  soon  after 
came  to  be  corrupted  into  Colquhoun,  which  name  they 
have  retained  ever  since.  The  immediate  ancestor  of  this 
family  was  Umphridus  de  Kilpatrick,  who,  temp.  Alexan- 
der II.,  obtained  a  grant  of  the  lands  and  barony  of  Col- 
quhoun, co.  Dumbarton,  whereupon  he  quitted  the  name 
of  Kilpatrick,  and  assumed  that  of  Colquhoun.  Ingelra- 
mus  de  Colquhoun,  his  son,  lived  temp.  Alexander  III.  Sir 
John,  the  7th  in  descent  from  Umphridus,  was  highly 
esteemed  by  James  III.,  who,  1463,  appointed  him  cristas 
rotulorum*  or  clerk  registrar  for  Scotland  ;  and  1474  he 
was  preferred  to  be  lord  high  chamberlain  of  England.  He 
was  afterwards  constituted  governor  of  the  castle  of  Dum- 
barton for  life.  He  m.  a  daughter  of  Thomas,  lord  Boyd, 
by  whom  he  had  2  sons  and  1  da. ;  1 .  Humphrey ;  2. 
Robert,  who  was  consecrated  bishop  of  Argyll,  1473,  and 
was  in  that  see  1495.  His  da.,  Margaret,  was  wife  of  sir 
Wm.  Murray,  7th  baron  of  Tullibardin,  and  bore  to  him 
17  sons,  of  whom  the  duke  of  Athol,  and  several  other 
families  of  the  name  of  Murray,  are  descended.  He  was 
killed  at  the  siege  of  the  eastie  of  Dumbarton,  1  May  1478, 

and

and  was  succeeded  by  his  eldest  son,  sir  Humphrey,  who 
to.,  1st,  Jean,  da.  of  Thomas,  lord  Erskine,  by  whom  he 
had  1  son,  John,  and  2  das. ;  and  2dly,  a  da.  of  John,  3d 
lord  Somerville,  by  whom  he  had  no  surviving  issue;  and 
dying  in  1493  was  succeeded  by  his  son,  sir  John,  to.,  1st, 
Margaret  Stuart,  da.  of  John,  earl  of  Lennox,  by  whom 
he  had  2  sons  and  4  das. ;  and  2dly,  Margaret  Cunning- 
ham, by  whom  he  had  2  sons.  He  d.  1535.  His  eldest  son, 
Humphrey,  to.  Katharine,  da.  of  William,  1st  earl  of  Mont- 
rose, by  whom  he  had  1  son,  John,  and  3  das.  He  sur- 
vived his  father  only  2  years,  and  was  succeeded  by  his 
son,  sir  John,  who  to.  Agnes,  da.  of  Robert,  4th  lord  Boyd, 
ancestor  to  the  earls  of  Kilmarnock.  His  eldest  son,  Hum- 
phrey, to.,  1st,  Jean  Cunningham,  da.  of  Alexander,  5th 
earl  of  Glencairn,  relict  of  Archibald,  5th  earl  of  Argyll, 
by  whom  he  had  no  issue;  and  2dly,  Jean,  da.  of  John, 
lord  Hamilton,  by  whom  he  had  only  one  da. 

In  1594,  or  1595,  the  clan  of  Macgregor,  with  some  of 
their  lawless  neighbours,  came  down  upon  the  low  country 
of  Dumbartonshire,  and  committed  vast  depredations,  es- 
pecially upon  the  territories  of  the  Colquhouns.  Humphrey 
raised  his  vassals,  and  followed  to  oppose  them,  and  was 
joined  by  many  of  the  gentlemen  in  the  neighbourhood- 
Both  parties  met  at  Glenfroome,  where  a  bloody  conflict 
ensued.  Many  were  killed  on  both  sides,  but  the  High- 
landers appear  to  have  had  the  advantage.  The  laird  of 
Colquhoun  retired  to  a  castle  of  his  own,  but  being  closely 
pursued  by  a  party  of  the  enemy,  they  broke  into  his  cas- 
tle and  put  him  to  death ;  and  he  having  no  male  issue, 
was  succeeded  by  his  brother,  Alexander,  to.  Helen,  da. 
of  sir  George  Buchanan,  by  whom  he  had  5  sons  and  1  da. 
Sir  John,  the  eldest  son,  was,  by  king  Charles  I.,  created 
a  baronet  of  Nova  Scotia.  He  was  a  great  loyalist,  and 
was  fined  by  Oliver  Cromwell  the  sum  of  £2000  sterling, 
1654;  he  to.  Lilias  Graham,  da.  of  John,  4th  earl  of  Mont- 
rose, brother  to  the  Marquess,  by  whom  he  had  3  sons  and 
2  das. :  he  was  succeeded  by  his  son,  sir  John,  who  to.  Mar- 
garet, da.  and  heiress  of  sir  Gideon  Baillie,  of  Lochend,  co. 
Haddington,  by  Magdalene,  da.  and  co-heiress  of  David, 
lord  Carnegie;  but  having  no  surviving  male  issue,  was  suc- 
ceeded in  1676  by  his  brother,  sir  James,  to.  Penuel,  da.  of 
sir  Wm.  Cunningham,  and  Catharine,  his  wife,  da.  of  James, 
7th  earl  of  Glencairn,  by  whom  he  had  1  son,  Humphry, 
and  1  da.  He  was  succeeded  by  his  son,  sir  Humphry, 
who  was  member  of  the  union  parliament,  and  strenuously 

opposed

ceed'him  in  his  estate  and  honours,  made,  in  1704,  a  resigr 
nation  of  his  baronetship,  &c.  for  a  new  patent  to  himself 
in  life-rent,  his  son-in-law  and  his  heirs,  on  condition  of 
carrying  the  name  and  arms  of  Colquhoun.     Sir  Humphry 
d.  1718,  and  was  succeeded  in  his  estate  and  honours  by 
James  Grant,  his  son-in-law,  underthe  name  and  designation 
of  sir  James  Colquhoun,  of  Luss,  who  enjoyed  that  estate 
and  title  till  his  elder  brother,  Alexander  Grant,  d.  with- 
out issue  in  17iy;   he  then   succeeded  to  the  estate  of

Mallem,  Jiiaule,  Mallet,  or  Malet,  was  (while  defensive 
armour  was  in  use,  and  previous  to  fire-arms)  one  of  the  of- 
fensive weapons  of  a  well-armed  warrior,  generally  made 
of  iron,  and  used,  like  the  mace,  to  destroy,  by  pounding  or 
bruising  the  enemy  through  or  under  armour  that  could  not 
be  penetrated  by  edged  or  pointed  weapons.  Thus  Edward

Motto — Ma  force  d'en  hunt. 

N.B.  The  escallops  seem  to  have  been  assumed  by  a 
crusader  of  the  family  (to  one  of  whom  there  is  a  monument 
in  the  church  of  Shipton  Malet)  subsequent  to  the  settle- 
ment in  England;  hut  prior  to  the  reign  of  king  John,  as 
the  arms  borne  by  the  companion  of  William  the  conqueror 
are  said  to  have  been  three  buckles,  which  are  still  retain- 
ed by  the  family  of  Greville,  in  Normandy.  The  motto 
seems  to  have  been  assumed  by  Baldwin,  solicitor  to  king 
Henry  VIII.,  probably  in  allusion  to  the  potence  of  his  roy- 
al master.  Amongst  the  great  possessions  of  the  family  in 
Somersetshire,  were  Enmore  Castle,  St.  Audries,  Sutton 
Malet,  Curry  Malet,  Shipton  Malet,  Poynington,  Oak, 
Compton,  Conquest,  &c,  all  which  are  now  alienated.

ERSKINE,  879 

"Wm.  Erskine,  of Torrie,  co.  Fife,  2d  son  to  David,  lord 
Cardross,  a  person  of  great  integrity  and  honour,  was  a 
colonel  in  fee  army;  he  served  in  the  cavalry  with  distin- 
guished reputation,  and  was  appointed  deputy-governor  of 
Blackness  castle  ;  lie  m.  Magdalene,  da.  to  sir  Jas.  Lums- 
danf,  of  Innergelly,  co.  Fife,  maj.-gen.  in  the  service  of 
Gustavus  Adolphus,  king  of  Sweden,  and  had  issue  2  sons, 
William  and  James  ;  the  latter  of  whom  was  capt.  in  the 
Greys,  and  lost  his  life  on  service  in  Flanders.  William, 
the  eldest,  who  succeeded  his  father,  was  a  col.  in  the  army, 
and  lieut.-col.  of  the  7th  light  dragoons,  which  regiment  he 
commanded  during  the  Flanders'  war,  and  was  severely 
wounded  at  the  battle  of  Fontenoy,  from  which  he  never 
recovered  :  he  m.  Henrietta,  da.  and  co-heiress  to  Win. 
Baillie,  of  Lamington,  by  lady  Henrietta  Lindsay,  eldest 
da.  to  William,  the  lath  earl  of  Crawford.  Wm.  Baillie,  of 
Lamington,  chief  of  that  ancient  name,  was  paternally  de- 
scended from  sir  Alexander  Baiilie,  or  Baliol,  baron  of 
Caires,  lord  chamberlain  of  Scotland,  and  a  younger  brother 
to  John  Baliol,  lord  of  Galloway,  father  to  John  Baliol, 
king  of  Scotland:  ne  was  also  descended  from  sir  Wm. 
Wallace,  regent  Gi'  Scotland  in  1297  (one  of  the  greatest 
patriots,  warriors,  and  heroes,  of  this  or  any  other  age  or 
country).  The  Baillies,  or  earls  of  Lamington,  became 
seated  there  by  marriage  with  sir  Wm.  Wallace's  da.  and 
only  child.  The  said  William  Enskine  of  Tonie  had,  by 
his  wife,  Henrietta,  1  sob,  sir  UilUam,  lstbart.  and  2 das., 

Margaret  and  Henrietta:  the  former  m. Stirling,  of 

Keir,  esq. 

Sir  WILLIAM,  who  succeeded  his  father,  entered  the 
army  at  an  early  period.  By  services  of  the  most  splendid 
nature  he  added  many  a  wreath  to  his  country's  fame,  and 
did  honour  to  the  noble  race  from  whence  he  sprung.  He 
served  in  various  climes  for  the  long  period  of  half  a  century, 
seventeen  years  of  which  were  employed  in  the  most  active 
campaigns,  having  served  in  the  Flanders,  German,  and 
American  wars,  and  that  of  the  French  revolution.  After 
the  war  of  Germany  he  laid  at  the  king's  feet  16  stand  of 
colours,  taken  by  the  regiment  which  he  commanded  (the 
15th  light  dragoons)  alone  ;  upon  which  occasion,  his  ma- 
jesty was  graciously  pleased  to  create  him  knight  banneret 
(the  only  one  of  his  time),  and  which  distinction  has  never 
since  been  conferred  on  any  one.  He  was  created  a  bart., 
as  above,  21  June  1791.  In  the  eventful  period  of  the 
French  revolution,  when   the   British  were  employed   in 

Flanders, 


830  ERSKINE. 

Flanders,  he  exhibited  a  firmness  and  coolness  beyond  all 
praise.  He,  on  every  occasion,  imparted  a  brilliancy  to 
his  own  character,  and  an  addition  to  the  military  reputa- 
tion of  England,  which  will  belong  remembered,  and  was, 
at  the  time,  productive  of  the  most  essential  benefit.  He  was 
as  much  beloved  for  his  social  virtues  as  he  was  esteemed 
and  respected,  even  by  the  enemy,  for  his  personal  bravery 
and  military  talents ;  and  it  is  not  too  much  to  say,  that 
England  now  could  boast  of  an  officer  who  possessed,  in  a 
superior  degree,  such  undeniable  claims  to  the  confidence 
and  honours  which  his  merits  alone  occasioned.  He  attained 
the  rank  of  lieut.-gen.  in  the  army,  and  col.  of  the  26th 
regiment  of  foot ;  but  his  most  distinguished  services  were 
with  the  cavalry.  He  had  received  his  majesty's  commis- 
sion to  proceed  to  Ireland,  to  take  upon  himself  the  com- 
mand of  the  troops  in  that  kingdom,  and  was  preparing  to 
depart,  when  he  was  seized  with  a  spasm,  and,  after  a  short 
illness,  d.  in  the  full  vigour  of  mind  and  body,  in  the  68th 
year  of  his  age.

ofGogar,  by  whom  he  had  one  child,  who  d.  in  infancy. 
Hew.,  2dly,  Frances,  da.  of  Jas.  Moray,  of  Abercairney,

(jas.  Moray  was  chief  of  that  name,  and  descended 
from  the  earls  of  Strathern).  By  this  2d  marriage  he  had 
3  sons  and  5  das. ;  1.  sir  William,  and  2.  sir  James,  succes-

April  1795,  and  was  succeeded  in  his  title  and  estates  by 
his  eldest  son, 

II.  Sir  WILLIAM,  lieutenant-general  of  cavalry,  who 
served  in  the  war  of  the  French  revolution,  in  the  expedi- 
tion to  Flushing,  and  3  years  in  Spain  and  Portugal.  He 
was  much  distinguished  by  a  quickness  of  apprehension, 
and  precision  of  judgment,  on  most  subjects,  but  particu- 
larly on  military  matters.  He  was  intrusted  with  the  com- 
mand of  the  advanced  guard  in  the  pursuit  of  the  French 
from  the  lines  of  Lisbon,  in  which  he  acquitted  himself  to 
the  high  satisfaction  of  the  commander  of  the  forces  ;  and  af- 
ter enduring  the  most  fatiguing  operations  of  the  campaign 
in  1812,  he  was  seized  with  a  pleurisy,  terminating  in  a 
fever,  of  which  he  d.  at  Brozas,  in  Spain,  13  Feb.  1813,  being

good  fortune,  which  lord  Anson  predicted,  to  make  a  very 
expeditions  passage  to  India:  which,  if  lie  had  not  effected, 
the  enterprise  against  Manilla  must  have  failed,  as  the  squa-

Malcolm  IV.  in  the  12th  century.  Thomas  de  Striveling,  his 
grandson,  a  man  of  extraordinary  parts  and  integrity,  be- 
ing bred  to  the  church,  became  one  of  the  greatest  men  in 
the  kingdom.  He  was  appointed  lord  high  chancellor  of 
Scotland  by  King  Alexander  II.  and  d.  1227.  From  Ro- 
bert, his  elder  brother,  descended  Gilbert  Stirling,  esq.  who

zabeth; all  these  d.  unm.;  and  7.  Margaret,  wife  of  Chas.

James.     The  eldest  son, 

I.  Sir  JAMES,  was  created  a  bart.,  19  July  1792,  late

HAWLEY.  919 

Frances-Anne,  m.  20  April  1822,  capt.  Charles  Shaw,  2d 
son  of  sir  John  Charles  Shaw,  of  Kemvard,  co.  Kent,  Bart., 
2.  James ;  3.  Eliza ;  and  4.  Louisa. 

In  the  14th  century  we  find  Robert  Hawley,  of  whom  a 
singular  story  is  on  record :  During  the  priorship  of  the  gi- 
gantic and  courageous  Nicholas  Lithington,  first  prior  of 
the  abbey-church  of  St.  Peter,  in  Westminster,  Robert 
Hawley  and  John  Shakell,  esqrs.,  in  the  battle  of  Nazers,  in 
Spain,  had  taken  the  Spanish  earl  of  Dene  prisoner,  who 
delivered  up  his  son  as  an  hostage  for  his  ransom.  The 
youth  was  left  unnoticed  by  his  father  for  some  years,  when 
John,  duke  of  Lancaster,  thought  fit  to  demand  him  ;  the 
captors  released  him  without  a  consideration;  upon  this 
they  were  committed  to  the  Tower,  from  whence  they  es- 
caped ;  but  Shakell  was  retaken,  and  Hawley  fled  to  the 
clioir  of  St.  Peter's  abbey  for  sanctuary,  whither  sir  Allen 
Roxal,  constable  of  the  Tower,  and  sir  Ralph  Ferrers,  with 
a  number  of  armed  men,  pursued  him :  after  a  stout  resist- 
ance on  his  part  with  a  small  sword,  with  which  he  frequent- 
ly drove  his  antagonists  back,  he  was  at  last  killed  in  the 
chancel,  at  the  very  time  of  high-mass,  11  Aug.  1378,  to- 
gether also  with  a  faithful  servant,  and  a  priest,  who  re- 
monstrated against  such  violent  proceedings.  The  church 
was  shut  for  4  months  after  this  melancholy  and  barbarous 
outrage.  Subsequently  to  this  we  find  Thomas  Haicley  suc- 
cessively Carlisle  herald,  and  Norroy  king-at-arms,  temp.

POORE, 


POORE.  927 

POORE,  of  Rushall-Halt,.  co.  Wilts. 

8  July  1795. 

Sir  EDWARD  POORE,  Bart.,  bom  4  Dec.  1795,  suc- 
ceeded his  Great  Uncle  Sir  John  Methuen,  1  June  1820, 
married  6  Jan.  1818,  Agnes,  3d  daughter  of  Sir  John  Mar- 

jcribanks,  Bart.,  and  has  issue  a  daughter,  bom and 

another  daughter,  born  May  1822. 

This  family  originally  spelt  their  name  Poer,  and  is  of 
great  antiquity  in  the  cos.  Wilts  and  Gloucester.  Richard 
Poer  was  high  sheriff  of  the  latter  county  in  1187  ;  and 
there  is  a  curious  record  in  the  heralds'  college,  that  he  was 
killed  defending  the  Lord's  day.  This  Richard  Poore  had 
2  sons,  Philip  and  Richard,  who  was  the  1st  dean  of  Salis- 
bury, bishop  of  Chichester,  then  of  Sarum,  and  3dly,  of 
Durham,  and  d.  15  April  1237,  and  was  buried  at  Sarrant, 
co.  Dorset,  in  a  nunnery  of  his  own  founding :  he  laid  the 
foundation  of  Salisbury  cathedral  in  a  very  pleasant  place, 
called  Merifield.  The  building,  with  its  lofty  spire,  and 
double  transept,  venerable  by  a  kind  of  sacred  cheerfulness 
and  majesty,  was  finished  at  a  prodigious  expense  in  40 
years,  and  dedicated,  in  1258,  in  the  presence  of  king 
Henry  III.,  of  which  an  old  bard  sings,  not  inelegantly  : 

"  Regis  enim  virtus  spectator  in  isto : 
Praesulis  affectus,  artificumque  fides." 

This  church,  the  king's  delight,  in  wisdom's  rays, 
The  bishop's  zeal,  the  builder's  faith,  displays. 

But  much  more  elegantly  says  the  celebrated  and  learned 
Daniel  Rogers : 

"  Mira  canam  !  soles  quot  continet  annus  in  una, 
Tarn  numerosa  ferunt,  aede  fenestra  micat ; 
Marmoreasque  capit  fusas  tot  ab  arte  columnas 

Comprensas  boras  quot  vagus  annus  habet ; 
Totque  patent  porta?  quot  mensibus  annus  abundat 
Res  mira  !  at  verzl  res  celebrata  fide." 

Wondrous  to  tell !  as  many  windows  here 
As  solar  revolutions  in  one  year) 

As

As  many  marble  pillars  rise  around 
As  hours  within  the  fleeting  year  are  found  ; 
As  many  doors  as  months  admittance  give  ; 
Strange  as  it  seems,  we  must  the  tale  believe. 

His  brother,  Philip,  was  seated  at  Ambresbury,  in  Wilt- 
shire, from  whom  was  descended  Abraham  Poore,  esq.,  of 
Enford,  co.  Wilts,  who  in.  Anne,  da.  of  Jno.  Heme,  gent.,

MURRAY-M'GREGOR,  of  Lanric,  co.  Perth. 

23  July  1795. 
Sir  JOHN-M'GREGOR  MURRAY-MCGREGOR, Bart., 
late  Colonel  in  the  Army,  in  the  East  India  Company's  ser- 
vice, 


MURRAY-M'GREGOR.  929 

vice,  and  Auditor-General  in  Bengal ;  resumed  the  surname 
of  M'Gregor,  by  Royal  Licence,  1822;  married  Anne, 
daughter  of  Roderic  Macleod,  Esq.,  by  whom  he  has  a  son, 
Evan  John. 

Though  this  family  have,  in  the  last  two  or  three  genera- 
tions, assumed  the  name  of  Murray,  they  are,  in  fact,  of  the 
race  of  Mac  Gregor.  The  royal  descent  of  this  most  an- 
cient clan  might  be  traced  from  the  chronicles  of  the  Scot- 
tish kings  to  the  remotest  antiquity ;  but  we  shall  cany  it 
no  further  back  than  prince  Gregor,  3d  son  of  king  Alphin, 
son  of  the  celebrated  Achaius,  king  of  Scotland,  who  began 
to  reign  787.  The  5th  in  descent  from  him  was  Gregor 
Garubh,  or  the  Stout,  who  m.  a  da.  of  the  ancient  house  of 
Lochow,  predecessor  of  the  family  of  Argyll.  He  fought 
under  Duncan  I.,  in  his  battles  against  the  Normans  and 
Danes,  highly  resented  the  murder  of  that  monarch  by 
Macbeth,  and  was  a  powerful  promoter  of  the  restoration  of 
his  son,  Malcolm,  prince  of  Cumberland.  In  the  early  part 
of  the  17th  century  there  happened  great  animosities  be- 
tween the  Macgregors  and  the  Colquhouns,  Buchanans, 
and  Grammes,  which  produced  several  bloody  conflicts ;  and 
their  adversaries  having  favour  at  court,  the  Macgregors 
were  persecuted  with  great  fury.  To  such  a  height  of  fe- 
rocity were  matters  carried,  that  a  price  being  set  upon  the 
heads  of  the  clan  by  the  privy  council,  two  of  their  enemies, 
who  had  shared  considerably  of  their  estates,  got  blood- 
hounds, with  which  they  hunted  them,  devouring  and  man- 
gling them  wherever  they  were  found.  So  keen  and  pow- 
erful were  the  conductors  of  their  destruction,  that  a  very 
severe  act  was  made  against  them,  whereby  their  name  was 
proscribed,  and  all  persons  were  at  liberty  to  mutilate  or 
slay  them  without  being  liable  to  law;  nay,  encouraged  to 
it  by  a  promise  of  their  moveable  goods  and  gear.  In  this 
situation  the  Macgregors  continued  till  the  time  of  the  so- 
lemn league  and  covenant,  which,  as  their  principal  enemies 
were  interested  in,  afforded  them  a  respite.  They  were 
much  courted  to  join  the  confederacy,  upon  promises  of 
future  friendship  ;  but  rebellion  against  majesty  had  ever 
been  detestable  to  them,  and  they  declared,  "That  as  they 
Lore  the  crown  on  the  point  of  their  swords,  they  would  not 
fail  to  use  the  latter  in  support  of  the  former."  Patrick 
Macgregor  afterwards  joined  Montrose  in  support  of  the 
royal  cause  with  above  a  thousand  of  his  clan.    Mr.  Nisber, 

vol.  n.  «  in 


930  MURRAY-M'GREGOR. 

in  mentioning  the  loyalists,  says.  "The  Macgregors  also,  R 
clan  inferior  to  none  in  bravery  and  activity,  followed  their 
chief." 

Patrick  was  in  particular  esteem  with  Montrose,  two  of 
whose  letters  are  carefully  preserved,  addressed  to  "  His 
special  and  trusty  Friend,  the  honourable  Patrick,  Laird  of 
Macgregor :"  that  great  man,  in  the  strongest  terms,  ex- 
pressed his  hearty  approbation  of  his  unshaken  loyalty,  and 
assured  him  that  "  His  Majesty's  affairs  being  once  upon  a  per* 
manent  footing,  the  grievances- of  his  Family  and  Clan  should  be 
effectually  redressed."  But  their  chief  hopes  died  with  this 
great  hero ;  though  they  were,  in  consequence  of  their  loy- 
alty, restored  to  their  name,  by  act  of  parliament,  in  the 
reign  of  Charles  II.  Patrick  m.  Marian,  da.  of  Macdonald, 
of  Auchatrichatan,  chief  of  the  most  powerful  tribe  of  Mac- 
donalds  in  Glenco,  by  whom  he  had  3  sons:  1.  John  ;  2. 
James,  a  major  in  the  army,  who  went  to  America,  where 
he  married,  and  acquired  a  great  estate.  He  was  at  last 
killed  by  a  party  of  rebel  Indians  ;  but  some  of  his  poste- 
rity still  flourish  near  New  York ;  3.  Duncan,  d.  unm ;  John, 
the  eldest  son,  was  a  steady  loyalist:  he  m.  Ann,  da.  of 
Macgregor,  of  Ross,  by  whom  he  had  a  son,  John,  and  se- 
veral other  children.  John  Macgregor,  alias  Murray,  m. 
Catharine,  eldest  da.  of  Hugh  Campbell,  of  Lix,  esq.,  de- 
scended from  some  of  the  first  families  of  Scotland,  by  whom 
he  had  5  sons :  1.  Robert;  2.  Peter,  m.  and  left  ada.,  Catha- 
rine, wife  of  John  Gregorson  ;  3.  Duncan,  who  now  repre- 
sents the  family,  was  sorely  wounded  at  the  battle  of  Pres- 
tonpans,  in  1745  ;  he  has  a  son,  John;  and  a  da.,  Drum- 
mond-Mary;  4.  Evan  (of  whom  hereafter);  5.  John,  who 
signalized  himself  at  the  siege  of  Carthagena,  in  1740,  and 
in  the  succeeding  war  was  killed  at  Ticonderago.  Robert, 
of  Glencaruock,  the  eldest  son,  assumed  the  name  of  Mar- 
ray,  was  attached  to  the  interest  of  the  Stuart  family,  and 
had  the  command  of  a  regiment  of  his  own  clan  in  1745. 
The  duke  of  Cumberland  sent  to  assure  them,  that  if  they 
would  lay  down  their  arms,  and  return  home,  they  should 
be  restored  to  their  name,  and  otherwise  favoured  by  go- 
vernment ;  or  if  they  would  join  him,  that  their  commanders 
should  have  the  same  rank,  and  their  promotion  be  esteem- 
ed the  peculiar  care  of  his  royal  highness.  This  message 
produced  a  spirited  but  polite  refusal ;  and  after  the  bat- 
tle of  Culloden,  the  Macgregors  marched  in  a  body  to  their 
own  country  with  flying  colours,  and  then  dispersed  in 
small  parties.    Soon  afterwards  the  king's  troops  burnt  all 

the

tle, &c.

duke  of  Argyll,  was,  with  the  earl  of  Kelly  and  others,  con- 
fined for  several  years  in  the  castle  of  Edinburgh.  He  m.,

This  family  has  long  been  settled  co.  Berks,  in  which 
county  it  possessed  considerable  estates,  a  part  of  which 
is  still  retrainings  though  the  greater  part  was  sequestered 
by  the  parliament  during  the  civil  war  in  the  l?th  century, 
in  consequence  of  the  active  part  taken  in  favour  of  king 
Charles  I.  by  the  then  possessor,  lieut.-col.  Roger  Burgess,. 
This  gallant  officer  was  particularly  distinguished  as  the

3d  Earl  of  Cholmoudeley. 

This  ancient  family  derives  its  name  from  the  town  of 
Bellingham,  in  Tyndale,  co.  Northumberland,  where  it 
appears  to  have  been  seated  immediately  after  the  Con- 
quest; and  its  descent  to  sir  William  Bellingham,  the  pre- 
seut  baronet,  is  in  a  direct  male  line  without  any  inter- 
ruption, from  Alan  de  Bellingham,  who  lived  temp.  William 
the  Conqueror ;  and  about  the  year  1076,  m.  Beau-

the  present  hall  was  built,  and  became  the  chief  resi- 
dence of  the  family ;  though  the  Bellinghams  appear  to 
have  had  other  mansions  in  Westmoreland  at  the  same 
time,  Viz.  at  Burshead,  Helsington,  and  at  Favvcet-For- 
rest,  where  they  occasionally  resided,  as  well  as  at

ably by  purchase  :  he  d.  18  Feb.  1676,  was  buried  at  Castle

HIPPISLEY,  of  Warfield-Grove,  co.  Berks. 
30  April  1796. 

Sir  JOHN-COXE  HIPPISLEY,  Bart.,  D.C.L.,  F.R, 

and  A.S.,  Recorder,  and  one  of  the  Representatives  in 
Parliament  for  the  Borough  of  Sudbury  from  1802  to  1812, 
a  Bencher  of  the  Honourable  Society  of  the  Inner  Temple, 
and  a  Manager  of  the  Royal  Institution.  Sir  John  married, 
1st,  1780,  Margaret,  2d  daughter  of  Sir  John  Stuart,  Bart., 
ofAllanbank,  co.  of  Berwick  (who  d.  24  Sept.  1799),  by 
whom  he  has  1  son,  John-Stuart,  and  3  daughters  :  1.  Mar- 
garet-Frances, m.  Thomas-Strangways  Horner,  Esq.,  of 
Mells-Park,  co.  Somerset;  2.  Windham  -  Barbara ;  3. 
Louisa- Anne.  Sir  John  m.  2dly,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  the 
late  Thomas  Horner,  of  Mells-Park,  Esq.,  and  relict  of 
Henry-Hippisley  Coxe,  of  Stone-Easton-Kouse,  Esq.,  one 
of  the  Representatives  in  Parliament  for  the  County  of 
Somerset. 

In  the  years  1779  and  1780,  being  then  in  Italy,  Sir  John 
Hippisley  was  engaged  in  many  important  communications 
to  Government.  On  his  return  to  England  in  the  following 
year,   in  consequence  of  those  service?,  he  was  recom- 

mended 


HIPPISLEY.  939 

mended  in  the  strongest  terms  by  Lord  North,  then  at  the 
head  of  the  Treasury,  to  the  Court  of  Directors  of  the 
East  India  Company ;  in  consequence  of  which,  he  was 
immediately  appointed  to  that  service  with  the  advanced 
rank  of  4  years*  He  resigned  his  employments  in  1787, 
having  held  offices  of  great  trust  and  importance  in  the 
kingdom  of  Tanjore  during  the  war  with  Hyder  Ally,  and 
his  son,  Tippoo  Snltaun.  In  1790  he  was  appointed  Re- 
corder of  Sudbury,  which  appointment  was  confirmed  by 
his  Majesty  on  the  6th  of  July  following.  At  the  general 
election  in  1790  he  was  elected  one  of  the  Representatives 
for  that  Borough,  for  which  he  has  served  in  5  parliaments. 
Sir  John  returned  to  Italy  in  the  year  1792,  where  he  con- 
tinued till  1795,  in  which  interval  he  was  employed  in 
many  important  negotiations  ;  the  beneficial  result  of  which 
was  acknowledged  in  the  most  flattering  manner  by  his 
Majesty's  Ministers.  On  his  return  to  England,  his  Ma- 
jesty was  pleased,  in  consequence,  to  confer  upon  him  the 
dignity  of  a  Baronet  of  Great  Britain. 

In  1795,  at  the  instance  of  the  present  Elector  and  King 
of  Wurtemburg,  then  Hereditary  Prince,  he  was  engaged 
in  the  negotiation  of  his  marriage  with  the  Princess  Royal 
of  Great  Britain  ;  an  alliance  which  was  then  considered 
as  eventually  of  great  importance,  his  Serene  Highness 
being  the  brother-in-law  of  the  Emperors  of  Germany  and 
Russia.  In  consequence  of  the  success  of  that  negotia- 
tion, the  reigning  Duke,  by  letters  patent,  granted  to  Sir 
John  Hippisley  and  his  posterity  the  right  of  bearing  the 
arms  of  the  House  of  Wurtemburg,  accompanied  with  the 
device  or  inscription  of  the  Great  Order  of  Wurtemburg, 
viz.  Amicitice  virtutisque  fcedus.  This  Grant  his  Majesty  was 
graciously  pleased  to  confirm  by  his  sign  manual,  com- 
manding it  to  be  registered  in  his  College  of  Arms. 

On  the  marriage  of  the  Hereditary  Prince  with  the  Prin- 
cess Royal,  his  Majesty,  in  conjunction  with  the  reigning 

Duke 


940  HIPP1SLEY. 

Duke  of  Wurtemburg,  was  also  graciously  pleased  to  ap- 
point Sir  John  Hippisley,  together  with  the  Duke  of  Port- 
land, Lord  Grenville,  and  Mr.  Chancellor  Pitt,  one  of  the 
Commissioners  and  a  Trustee  of  her  Royal  liighness's  mar- 
riage settlement. 

The  benevolent  and  munificent  act  of  his  Majesty  in  fa- 
vour of  the  late  unfortunate  Representative  of  the  House 
of  Stuart,  and  the  expressive  feelings  of  dignified  grati- 
tude with  which  the  boon  was  accepted  and  acknow- 
ledged, are  facts  generally  known,  and  as  generally  ap- 
plauded. The  distresses  of  the  Cardinal  of  York  were 
originally  notified  to  his  Majesty  in  consequence  of  the 
letters  addressed  to  Sir  John  Hippisley  by  the  Cardinal 
Borgia ;  and  the  transaction  must  necessarily  be  consi- 
dered as  forming  an  interesting  epoch  in  the  history  of  our 
Country. 

Sir  John  Hippisley  served  the  office  of  High  Sheriff  co. 
Berks  in  the  year  1800,  and  in  the  same  year  was  named 
in  the  charter  of  the  Royal  Institution  of  Great  Britain, 
one  of  the  first  Managers  of  that  Corporation.  He  is  also  a 
Fellow  of  the  Royal  and  Antiquarian  Societies,  and  a  Mem- 
ber of  the  Government  Committee  of  the  Turkey  Company. 

The  family  of  Hippisley  is  traced  from  an  early  period  as 
seated  in  Somersetshire  ;  the  principal  branch  has  been 
chiefly  resident  at  Camely,  and  afterwards  at  Stone-Easton. 

Richard  Hippisley,  b.  the  14th  Edward  III.,  resided  at 
Camely,  when  that  manor  and  many  other  lordships  were 
granted  to  him.  In  the  36th  of  Henry  VIII.,  on  the  dis- 
solution of  the  priory  of  Bruton,  certain  hinds  belonging 
to  that  priory  were  also  granted  by  the  Crown  to  his  de- 
scendant, John  Hippisley,  whose  son  and  heir,  John,  is 
certified  to  hold  the  manors  of  Camely,  Stone-Easton,  and 
other  lordships,  by  knight  service. 

John  Hippisley,  temp.  Hen.  VII.,  m.  Agnes,  da.  and 
heiress  of  sir  William  Hody,  lord-chief-baron  of  the  ex- 
chequer, son  of  sir  John  Hody,  lord-chief  justice  of  Eng-

set in  the  heralds'  college,  that  John  Hippisley,  of  Stone-

This  family  has  been,  from  a  long  series  of  generations, 
established  at  Montauban,  in  the  province  of  Languedoc, 
in  France.  By  a  reference  to  a  patent,  signed  by  Henry 
IV.,  6  July  1579,  still  extant,  we  are  informed  that  Jean 
Horace  had  been  appointed  to  the  offices  of  "  Conseil- 
fer  a  In  Chanihre  de  VEdit,"  and  of  "  Blaitre  des  Requested 
ordtnaires  du  Roi  en  son  Hotel."     To  him  succeeded  Samuel, 

his  eldest  son,  who  had  in.  Rachael,  da.  of de  Valette,

other  descendants  of  those  noble  protestants  who  had 
placed  Henry  IV.  on  the  throne.  But  on  the  revocation  of 
the  Edict  of  Nantes,  by  Louis  XIV.,  this  couple  were  ob- 
jects of  severe  persecution,  and,  after  having  suffered  al- 
most unheard-of  cruelties,  monsieur  Pechell  was  at  length 
embarked,  with  felons,  for  the  West  Indies,  from  whence 
he  effected  his  escape,  first  to  Jamaica,  and  then  to  Ireland, 
where  he  obtained  a  pension  from  king  William,  and  a  com- 
mission in  a  regiment  commanded  by  marshal  Schomberg.

9,1  KNIGHTLEY. 

KNIGHTLEY,  of  Fawsley,  co.  Northampton. 
30  Dec.  1797. 

Sir  CHARLES  KNIGHTLEY,  Bart.,  horn  1731,  suc- 
ceeded his  uncle,  the  Rev.  Sir  John,  29  Jan.  1812  ;  married, 
21  Aug.  1813,  Selina-Mary  Hervey,  eldest  daughter  of  Fel- 
ton-Lionel  Hervey,  of  Englefield  Green,  co.  Surrey,  Esq.; 
(hy  Selina,  only  daughter  and  heiress  of  Sir  John  Elwell, 
Bart.,  by  Selina,  daughter  of  Peter  Bathursl,  Esq.,  and  re- 
lict of  Lord  Ranelagh,  and  sister  to  Lieutenant-Colonel  Sir 
Felton-Lionel-Bathurst  Hervey,  C.B.  Bart.)  and  has  issue, 
a  daughter,  b.  1817. 

The  Knightleys  are  originally  co.  Stafford,  taking  their 
name  from  a  manor  so  called,  in  that  county,  which  they 
have  possessed  ever  since  the  Conquest:  at  that  time,  Ri- 
naldus,  one  of  the  followers  of  king  William  I.,  had  a  grant 
of  it;  but  they  removed  to  Fawsley,  co.  Northampton,  1415, 
when  sir  Richard  Knightley,  knt.,  purchased  that  manor. 
Sir  Richard  Knightley,  K.B.  was  one  of  the  richest  private 
subjects  of  his  time,  having  landed  property  to  the  amount 
of  £13,000  per  annum  :  he  had  an  extreme  aversion  to  the 
church  of  England  :  his  attachment  to  puritanism  grew  till 
his  zeal  exceeded  his  prudence,  and  certain  libels  against 
the  church  were  with  difficulty  discovered  to  have  been 
printed  in  a  small  turret  at  Fawsley.  For  this  offence,  his 
sovereign,  queen  Elizabeth,  summoned  him  before  the  star 
chamber,  when  he  was  deeply  fined.  Sir  Richard  sat  in 
several  parliaments  in  that  reign  and  the  succeeding  one. 
His  death  happened  in  1615  ;  he  m.,  1st,  Mary,  da.  ofWra. 
Fermor,  esq.,  by  whom  he  had  2  sons  and  1  da. ;  and  after 
her  death  he  m.  the  lady  Elizabeth,  6th  da.  of  the  great 
duke  of  Somerset,  protector  to  his  nephew,  king  Edward 
VI.;  she  d.  1602.  The  issue  of  this  marriage  was  sir  Sey- 
mour Knightley,  and  6  other  sons ;  yet  the  male  line  be- 
came extinct  in  this  branch  in  a  very  few  years.  Upon 
failure  of  the  name  in  his  descendants,  the  estate  of  Faw- 
sley came  to  Richard,  son  of  Thomas  Knightley,  of  Burgh- 
hall,  co.  Stafford ;  he  was  also  a  zealous  enemy  to  the  hie- 
rarchy in  the  church,  and  the  regal  prerogative  in  the  state. 
He  d.  1650.  Jane,  his  widow,  da.  of  sir  Edwd.  Littleton, 
bart.  d.  1657,  by  whom  he  had  9  sons  and  4  das.;  his  eldest 

son,

son.  and  heir,  sir  Richard  Knightley,  K.B.  was  member  for 
Northampton  in  the  last  parliament  of  Charles  I.  and  was 
as  strenuous  against  him  as  his  father ;  took  the  covenant, 
and  was  one  of  the  committee  of  the  parliament  navy,  yet 
opposed  the  death  of  his  sovereign,  for  which  he  was  se- 
cluded, with  many  others,  from  sitting  in  the  house  of  com- 
mons. He  was  appointed,  by  the  protector,  Oliver,  one  of  the 
assessors  of  the  monthly  taxes,  in  his  own  county  of  North- 
ampton, which  he  represented  in  the  parliament  called  by 
the  protector  Richard,  in  1658-9;  he  was  afterwards  one  of 
the  council  of  state,  in  1660,  which  greatly  promoted  the 
Restoration,  when  he  was  received  with  much  grace  by  his 
majesty  ;  he  d.  29  June  1661.  He  >??.,  1st,  Elizabeth,  eldest 
da.  of  the  celebrated  John  Hampden,  esq.;  and,  2dly,  Anne,

Essex  Devereux,  esq.;  she  d.  5  Feb.  1702.

a  commander  and  post  captain  1782,  and  returned  to  Eng- 
land as  captain  of  the  admiral's  ship,  1785,  having  served 
in  all  the  actions  against  the  French  in  India  as  a  highly 
approved  and  distinguished  officer,  and  was  soon  after  se- 
lected as  a  most  skilful  navigator  to  accompany  commodore, 
afterwards  admiral  Blankett,  upon  a  particular  service  in 
the  Indian  seas  ;  on  his  return  was  captured  by  the  French 
fleet,  in  the  Castor  frigate,  and  being  a  prisoner  on  board 
the  Sans  Pareille  of  80  guns,  in  the  glorious  victory  of  lord 
Howe,  1  June  1794,  was  named  by  his  lordship,  upon  her 
capture  on  that  day,  to  command  her ;   the  admiralty  im- 
mediately after  gave  him  the  command  of  the  Culloden,  a 
well  manned  74,  whose  crew  at  first  rejected  him  as  their 
captain,  and  afterwards  served  and  fought  under  him  with 
uneclipsed  eclat  in  the  celebrated  victory  of  earl  St.  Vin- 
cent over  the  Spanish  fleet,  14  Feb,  1797.     Captain  Trow-

and  successfully  employed  on  various  and  important  ser- 
vices in  the  Mediterranean,  and  for  his  distinguished  gal 
lantry  on  various  occasions  was  created  a  baronet  of  Great 
Britain,  23  Nov.  1799,  with  an  honorable  augmentation  to 
his  armorial  bearings  allusive  to  his  military  exploits.     On 
the  commodore's  return  to  England  in  the  Culloden,  1801, 
he  was  selected  by  earl  St.  Vincent  to  be  his  lordship's 
captain  of  the  channel  fleet,  and  afterwards  appointed  a 
lord  of  the   admiralty,  with  his  chief,  the  earl  being  ap- 
pointed first  lord  thereof.     On  the  promotion  of  flag  of- 
ficers, 23  April  1804,  sir  Thomas  was  made  an  admiral, 
and  sent,  1805,  to  the  East  Indies,  and  returning  from  that

970  PEEL. 

Robert  Peel,  of  Oswaltwitch,  co.  Lancaster,  m.  Amie,  da. 

of ,  and  d.  1736,  leaving  issue,  among  other  children, 

William  Peel,  of  the  same  place,  who,  hy  his  wife,  Jane,  da. 
of  Laurence  Walmesly,  of  Darwin,  co.  Lancaster,  esq.,  had, 
among  other  children,  sir  Robert, present  bait., and  Joseph, 
who  d.  24  March  1820.   Sir  Robert,  having  spent  the  earlier 
part  of  his  life  on  his  father's  estate  at  Peele  Cross,  near 
Lancaster,  which,  for  several  generations,  has  been  in  the 
possession  and  borne  the  name  of  the  family,  very  early  in 
life,  and  while  fortune  appeared  to  shut  the  door  of  ad- 
vancement against  him,  entertained  a  strong  presentiment 
of  becoming  the  founder  of  a  family ;  and  even  at  the  youth- 
ful age  of  14  he  frequently  avowed  his  determination  to 
raise  himself  to  rank  and  consequence  in  society  ;  founding 
his  hope  to  be  "  sua  faber fortunes,"  on  a  conviction  that  any 
situation  in  a  free  country  is  accessible  to  a  good  capacity, 
aided  by  prudence  and  industry.    The  high  consideration 
in  which  he  is  now  held,  and  his  splendid  fortune,  afford 
striking  proofs  of  the  truth  of  this  presentiment,  and  the 
effects  of  persevering  industry  in  a  country  where  such  ex- 
ertions have  the  encouragement  and  support  of  good  laws 
impartially  administered.     Mr.    Peel   gave   uncommonly 
early  proofs  of  quickness  of  perception;  hence  probably 
arose  that  spirit  in  his  enterprises,  and  that  attention  to  ac- 
tive habits,  which  enabled  him  to  steer  clear  of  those  reve- 
ries which  usually  accompany  man  in  his  progress  to  su- 
perior heights.  The  cotton  trade  was,  at  this  period  (1770) 
but  a  very  inconsiderable  branch  of  commerce,  although 
the  ingenious  sir  Rutland  Arkwright  had  made  some  happy 
discoveries  in  the  application  of  mechanical  powers  to  the 
great  abridgment  of  human  labour,  the  comparatively  rude 
state  of  this  infant  trade  called  forth  the  best  energies  and 
inventive  faculties  of  Mr.  Peel;  and  becoming  sensible  of 
the  improvements  of  which  machinery  was  susceptible,  he 
devoted  himself  to  explore  the  powers  of  mechanical  com- 
binations with  a  view  to  their  conversion  to  the  purposes  of 
commerce,  the  best  sinew  of  the  strength  of  England.     Sir 
Robert,  in  1802,  brought  a  bill  into  parliament  for  the  ame- 
lioration of  the  condition  of  apprentices  in  the  cotton  and 
woollen  trades ;  a  measure  which,  more  fully  than  any  other, 
developes  the  pure  benevolence  and  complexion  of  his  cha- 
racter :  he  had  long  lamented  the  existence  of  various  evils 
among  the  poorer  classes ;  and  it  must  prove  one  of  the 
highest  satisfactions  of  his  life,  that  he  has  been  instrument- 
al in  lessening  the  sum  of  human  misery,  and  particularly 

of

of  those  to  whose  labour  he  is,  in  some  measure,  indebted 
for  his  present  affluence.  In  private  life,  sir  Robert  is  no 
less  estimable  :  although  his  concerns  are  so  multifarious  as 
might  lead  one  to  suppose  that  this  multiplicity  would  dis- 
tract his  thoughts,  his  mind  is  so  little  fettered,  as  to  en- 
able him  to  give  a  considerable  portion  of  time  to  intellec- 
tual pursuits.  As  the  merit  by  which  he  acquired  it  made 
him  worthy  of  his  fortune,  so  the  use  which  he  makes  of  it, 
in  communicating  the  means  of  comfort  to  all  around  him, 
exceedingly  endears  him  to  an  extensive  circle,  and  gives 
him  a  just  claim  to  the  honours  he  has  received.  At  all 
times  accessible  to  the  meatiest  petitioner,  his  hand  is 
prompt  to  second  the  benevolent  impulses  of  his  heart ;  and 
none  leave  his  presence  before  their  wants  have  been  listen- 
ed to  with  sympathy,  and  charitably  relieved  :  his  heart, 
purse,  and  hand,  are  thus  truly  the  shadow  of  each  other.

Biscoe,  ofPenhill,  co.  Surrey,  Esq. 

The  surname  of  hi g lis,  according  to  Douglas,  is  of  great 
antiquity  in  the  south  of  Scotland ;  it  appears  from  the 
records  that  there  were  several  free  barons  of  the  name  in 
that  country  :  above  500  years  ago,  we  find  Walter  de  Inglis, 
Joh)i  de  Inglis,  Philip  de  Inglis,  men  of  rank  and  property 
when  king  Fdward  I.  had  overrun  that  country  in  1296. 
They  had  large  possessions  in  the  shire  of  Roxburgh  in 
very  early  times,  particularly  in  the  lands  and  barony  of 
Branksbolm.  Sir  William  higlis,  knt.,  the  immediate  an- 
cestor of  this  family,  flourished  in  the  reigns  of  Robert  II.

barony  of  Manner,  in  1395,  for  his  combat  with  sir  Thos. 
Struthers,  an  English  knt.,  whom  he  killed  on  the  spot.

Sir  HENRY  STRACHEY,  Bart.,  born  7  Dec.  1772, 
succeeded  his  father,  Sir  Henry,  1  Jan.  1809. 

This  family  was  originally  seated  at  Walden,  co.  Essex,

From  Essex  they  migrated  to  Surrey,  and  finally  settled  at

Strachey,  of  Gray's-lnn,  barrister,  in  166$:  his  grandson,

and  other  considerable  estates  in  the  parishes  of  Bui  wick, 
Henswicke,  Stanion,  Newton,  Weekly,  and  Little  Oakley,

CUMING 


GORDON.  1023 

CUMING  GORDON,  of  Altyr,  in  Elgin,  and 

GORDOMSTONE,  CO.  Perth. 

21  May  1801. 

Sir  WILLIAM-GORDON-CUMING  GORDON,  Bart., 
born  20  July  1787,  succeeded  his  father,  Sir  Alexander- 
Penrose,  10  Feb.  1806. 

The  family  of  Cuming-  is  said  to  be  descended  from  the 
ancient  family  of  the  Comines  in  France.  Robert  Curaine, 
earl  of  Northumberland,  was  employed  against  the  rebels 
in  Northumberland,  as  they  were  then  termed,  anno  1068. 
William  Cumine  was  lord  high  chancellor  of  Scotland  in  the 
reign  of  king  David  I.,  who  succeeded  to  the  throne  in 
1124.  It  is  agreed  that  the  Cumines  had  large  possessions 
in  lauds,  and  much  greater  power,  than  any  other  name  in 
Scotland,  from  the  reign  of  Malcolm  III.,  styled  Canmore, 
to  that  of  king  Robert  Bruce.  The  Cumines,  lords  Bade- 
noch,  were  undoubtedly  chiefs  of  the  whole  clan.  From 
them  were  descended  the  Cumines,  earls  of  Buchan,  earls 
of  Monteith,  &c.  The  Cumines  of  Altyr,  descended  from  a 
younger  son  of  the  lords  of  Badenoch,  appear  now  to  be  the 
representatives  of  that  great  and  once  flourishing  family. 

Alexander  Cuming,  of  Altyr,  (1.5th  in  descent  from  sir 
John  Cuming,  lord  of  Badenoch,  who  d.  1249),  m.  Anne, 
da.  of  John  VVortley,  esq.,  and  had  issue,  Elizabeth,  d.  nnm., 

and  an  oidy  son,  Alexander,  in.  Grace,  da.  of Penrose, 

esq.,  and  niece  and  sole  heiress  of  John  Penrose,  of  Pen- 
rose, Cornwall,  esq.,  and  had  issue,  1.  sir  Alexander,  1st 
bart.;  2.  John-Penrose;  3.  Edward;  4.  George;  5.  Wil- 
liam ;  6.  James,  d.  young ;  7.  Jane,  in.  Jonathan  Rashleigh, 
of  Silvertou,  co.  Devon,  esq.,  and  has  issue;  8.  Mary,  m. 
Wm.  Veale,  co.  Cornwall,  esq.,  and  has  issue;  and  9. 
Amelia,  m.  John  Quick,  of  Newton-House,  co.  Devon,  esq. 

I.  Sir  ALEXANDER-PENROSE,  eldest  son,  was 
created  a  baronet  12  May  1804,  lieut.-col.  of  the  Strathspey, 
or  1st  regiment  of  fencible  men,  heir  of  entail,  and  repre- 
sentative of  the  late  sir  Wm.  Gordon,  of  Gordonstoun,  bart. 
He  assumed  the  name  and  arms  of  Gordon,  agreeable  to  the 
will  of  sir  Wm.  Gordon,  bart.,  above  named  ;  he  in.  Helen, 
da.  of  sir  Lndovick  Grant,  and  sister  of  sir  Jas.  Grant, 
hart.,  and  left  issue,  1.  George,  d.  1800;  2.  sir  William,  his 
successor;  3.  Charles-Lennox,  b.  20  Feb.  1790 ;  4.  Margaret,

Camden,  remarking  of  the  King's  County,  in  Ireland, 
says, "  and  the  noble  English  families  of  Warren,  Herbert, 
Colbey,  Moore,  and  Leicester;  and  the  Irish  ones  of  O'Con- 
nor, Blue  Coglan,  O'Mailey,  Fox,  and  others,  manfully  main- 
tain the  lands  left  them  by  their  ancestors;"  and  again 
speaking  of  Mayo,  he  observes,  lt  this  county  is  not  so 
famous  on  account  of  its  towns,  as  of  its  inhabitants,  they 
being  of  Irish  extraction,  as  the  O'Mailies,  Jais,  Mac  Va- 
dines,  &c."  In  this  county,  Mayo,  there  is  a  place  called 
tbh  Maile,  that  is,  O'Mailly's  county  ;  a  sufficient  evidence 
that  the  family  has  been  of  considerable  importance  in  for- 
fner  times.  Notwithstanding,  however,  these  testimonies 
itf  favour  of  its  antiquity,  we  are  compelled  to  commence  the

This  family  and  several  others  in  England  and  Ireland,

of  Cornwall,  and  his  brother,  Odo  de  Burgho,  bishop  of

ABNEY-HASTINGS,of  Willesley,  co.  Derby. 
28  Feb.  1806. 

Sir  CHARLES  ABNEY-HASTINGS,  of  Willesley,  in 
co.  Derby,  born  1  Oct.  1792,  succeeded  his  father,  Ge- 
neral Sir  Charles,  G.C.H.  30  Sept.  1823.  Sir  Charles,  pre- 
sent and  2d  Bart. ;  out  of  respect  to  the  memory  of  his  ma- 
ternal grand-father,  Thomas  Abney,  of  Willesley,  in  co, 
of  Derby,  Esq.,  and  as  being  the  representative  of  the 
elder  branch  of  the  ancient  family  of  Abney,  of  Willesley, 
obtained  his  Majesty's  royal  licence  and  authority  that  he 
and  his  descendants  might  take  and  use  the  sir-name,  and 
bear  the  arms  of  Abney,  in  addition  to  his  own,  and  that 
his  brother,  Frank  Hastings,  Esq.,  might  likewise  use  the 
same. 

The  family  of  Abney  is  of  great  antiquity  in  co.  Derby; 
they  were  seated  at  Abney  in  the  Peak  (from  whence  they 
take  their  name)  about  the  time  of  the  conquest.  The  1st 
of  the  family  that  is  mentioned  as  living  at  Willesley,  is 
John  Abbeney,  or  de  Abeney,  in  1318.  The  family  of 
Wiveleslie  (the  ancient  name  of  Willesley)  was  possessed 
of  the  lordship  at  a  very  early  period.  In  the  year  1160, 
Michael  de  Wiveleslie,  was  lord  of  the  manor,  and  granted 
lands  to  John  de  Yngwereby  then  living  at  Willesley  ;  Ni- 
cholas de  Yngwereby,  his  son,  m.  Cecilia  Wychard  de 
Meysam,  widow  of  Nicholas  Wychard,  and  da.  of  sir  Wm. 
de  Meysam,  from  whom,  and  from  the  Wiveleslies  he 
obtained  further  grants  of  land  at  Willesley.  His  son 
William,  m.  about  1290,  Albreda  de  Wiveseleye,  or 
Wiveiislie,da.  of  Michael,  and  sister  of  Ado  de  Wiveseleye, 
and  obtained  the  rest  of  the  lands  together  with  the  lord- 
ship. They  were  succeeded  by  their  son  Nicholas,  who  m. 
Isabella,  and  was  succeeded  by  William  their  son,  who 
was  succeeded  by  his  only  son  William  de  Ingewardeby  de 
Willesleye,  who  left  2  das.,  co-heirs  of  his  estates ;  the  eld- 
est, about  the  year  1400,  m.  Jno.  de  Abney,  or  Abbeney, 
and  brought  into  that  family  the  manors  of  Willesley  and 
Potlock,  co.  Derby ;  with  lands  in  Packington,  co.  Leicester. 
The  2d  da.  was  m.  to  Thos.  Stokes,  esq.,  of  Tamworth. 
This  John  de  Abney,  on  his  m.  took  the  aims  of  Inge- 
wardeby,

wardeby,  viz.  a  demi-lion,  rampant;  he  was  the  son  of  Wil- 
liam, who  was  the  son  of  John,  the  1st  mentioned  as  living 
at  Willesley.  They  were  succeeded  by  their  son  William 
de  Abeney,  lord  of  Willesley,  who  was  succeeded  by  his 
son  John,  who  d.  in  1505.  George,  his  son,  m.  Ellen  da. 
of  Wolseley  of  Wolseley,  co.  Stafford,  esq.,  ancestor  of  the 
present  bart  of  that  name,  and  left  5  sons.  From  the  3d 
son  Robert,  is  descended  the  2d  branch,  or  Abneys  of 
Newton  Burguland,  now  seated  at  Measham,  co.  Derby. 
George  the  eldest  son,  d.,  and  was  succeeded  by  his  bro- 
ther James,  who  m.  Mary,  da.  and  heir  of  Henry  Mil- 
ward,  esq.,  ofDowbridge.  George  Abney,  their  son  and 
successor,  suffered  much  in  his  estate  during  the  civil 
wars ;  he  m.  Margery,  da.  and  co-heir  of  Michael  Lowe, 
of  Tymore,  co.  Stafford.  He  had  2  sisters,  the  eldest  m. 
Sir  Edvvd.  Bromley,  baron  of  the  Exchequer,  and  the  2d, 
Richd.  Adderley,  of  Coton,  esq.  George,  d.  in  1645,  aged 
95,  and  was  succeeded  by  his  eldest  son  James,  high  sheriff 
of  Derbyshire,  1655.  He  m.  Jane,  da.  of  Edwd.  Mainwaring 
of  Witmore,  co.  Stafford,  esq.,  and  deceased  in  1693,  in  his 
94th  year,  leaving  issue  by  her,  3  sons,  and  1  da.  The  eldest, 
George,  d.  before  his  father.  Sir  Edward  his  2d  son  and  suc- 
cessor, doctor  of  civil  law,  was  a  gentleman  of  high  esteem 
in  the  co.  Derby;  for  which  he  served  the  office  of  high 
sheriff,  and  was  returned  member  for  Leicester,  in  2  suc- 
cessive parliaments.  He  had  issue  by  his  2d  wife,  Judith, 
da.  and  co-heir  of  Peter  Bar,  merchant  of  London,  2  sons. 
Sir  Edward's  youngest  and  only  surviving  brother,  Thomas, 
settled  in  London,  and  rose  to  the  highest  offices  of  the  city. 
He  was  elected  an  alderman  in  1693,  and  one  of  the  sheriffs 
of  London  and  Middlesex  the  same  year,  lord-mayor  in  the 
year  1700  ;  and,  subsequently  one  of  the  representatives  in 
parliament  for  the  city.  These  offices  he  filled  with  high 
honour  to  himself,  during  a  period  of  great  difficulty.  By 
the  energy  of  his  conduct  at  the  most  critical  period  of  his 
mayoralty,  he  promoted  the  quiet  settlement  of  the  crown 
of  Great  Britain  in  the  protestant  line;  securing  thereby 
the  tranquillity  of  his  country,  and  consulting  the  best  in- 
terests of  the  state;  the  following  year,  himself  and  his 
elder  brother  sir  Edward  had  the  happiness  of  voting  in 
parliament  in  favour  of  the  act  (for  which  his  patriotic  con- 
duct in  his  high  offices  had  materially  paved  the  way)  to 
establish  more  firmly  the  protestant  succession  to  the  throne. 
This  act  received  the  royal  assent  the  day  before  the  king 
rf.,  by  which  means  the  crown  was  secured  to  that  illus- 
trious 


HASTINGS.  1059 

trious  family,  which  now  so  gloriously  wears  it.  Sir  Thomas 
was  knighted  by  king  William,  he  was  likewise  the  princi- 
pal person  concerned  in  founding  the  Back  of  England; 
but  what,  perhaps,  redounds  as  much  as  any  thing  to  his 
credit  and  that  of  his  lady,  was  their  patronage  and  pro- 
tection for  a  period  of  nearly  36  years  of  that  excellent 
person  Dr.  Tsaac  Watts,  at  whose  house  he  constantly  re- 
sided, and  where  (to  use  the  words  of  the  celebrated  Dr. 
Johnson)  u  with  a  constancy  of  friendship,  and  uniformity 
of  conduct  not  often  to  be  found,  he  was  treated  with  all 
the  kindness  that  friendship  could  prompt,  and  respect 
could  dictate;  a  coalition  in  which  the  notions  of  patronage 
and  dependence  were  overpowered  by  the  perception  of 
reciprocal  benefits,  that  deserves  most  particular  notice." 
Sir  Thomas  d.  aged  83,  father  of  the  city  of  London,  presi- 
dent of  St.  Thomas's  hospital,  and  one  of  the  directors  of  the 
bank  of  England.  He  left  issue  by  his  2d  wife,  Mary 
Gunston,  sister  and  co-heir  of  Thos.  Gunston,  lord  of  the 
manor  of  Stoke  Newington,  and  an  eminent  merchant  of 
London,  1  son  and  3  das.,  who  all  d.  without  issue.  Sir 
Edward  Abney's  only  sister  Abigail  m.  Ralph  Cotton  of 
Bellaport,  co.  Salop,  esq.,  and  had  issue,  Roland  Cotton,  of 
Etwall,  co.  Derby,  who  d.,  leaving  issue,  2  sons  and  3  das., 
the  eldest  da.  m.  Henry  Ayre,  of  Rowther,  co.  Derby,  esq., 
the  2d,  Lynch  Cotton,  of  Ryhall,  co.  Chester,  esq.,  and  the 
3d,  Robert,  6lh  earl  of  Ferrers,  who  was  father  of  Robert, 
7th  and  present  earl,  and  of  the  hon.  Washington  Shirley.  Sir 
Edward  d.  in  1631,  aged  96;  his  eldest  son  and  successor 
dying  unm. :  the  estates  descended  to  his  2d  son,  sir  Thomas, 
who  was  brought  up  to  the  law  ;  and  after  filling  many  high 
and  important  situations  as  a  law  officer  of  the  crown,  was 
nominated  a  judge  of  the  court  of  common  pleas,  in  which 
office  he  d.  of  the  remarkable  jail  fever,  that  carried  off 
most  of  the  prisoners  and  many  of  the  judges,  19  May  1750. 
Sir  Thomas  was  succeeded  by  his  only  son  Thomas  (by 
Frances,  da.  of  Joshua  Burton,  of  Brackley,  co.  Northamp- 
ton, esq.)  b.  2  Jan.  1725  (the  11th  in  descent  from  John  de

FRASER,  of  Leadclune  and  Morar,  co.  Inverness. 

27  Nov.  1806. 
Sir  WILLIAM  FRASER,  Bart.,  succeeded  his  father, 
Sir  William,  16  Feb.  1818. 

The  family  distinguished  by  the  surname  of  Fraser  are  of 
great  antiquity  in  Scotland,  although  they  are  unquestion- 
ably of  Celtic  or  Gaelic  origin,  and  came  from  Provence 
and  Languedoc  at  one  era,  and  from  Brittany  and  Nor- 
mandy at  another.  French  history  mentions,  that  Julian  de 
Berrie,on  the  10th  of  April  916,  presented  Charles,  king 
of  France,  at  An  Bergne,  near  Bourbon,  a  basket  of  ripe 
strawberries,  which  were  so  much  thought  of,  that  he  gave 

him 


1070  PHASER. 

him  the  surname  of  Frase,  afterwards  written  Fraisau,  and 
Fraizel,  in  France,  by  the  great  families  of  Guise  and 
Froizeller,  dukes  of  that  kingdom,  the  marquess  Montag- 
nard,  and  many  others,  whose  armorial  bearings  are  dis- 
tinguished by  strawberries  on  their  shield,  in  like  manner 
as  they  are  sculptured,  and  remain  to  this  day  on  the  cross 
of  Peebles. 

Sir  George  M'Kenzie,  lord-advocate  of  Scotland,  and 
other  antiquaries,  justly  say,  that  one  of  this  family  came 
iuto  Scotland  with  the  embassy  from  Charlemagne  in  807, 
and  was  created  the  1st  thane  of  Man,  the  lineal  ancestor 
of  Oliver  Fraser,  or  Frizel,  13th  thane  of  Man,  who  built 
Oliver  Castle,  in  Tweed's  Muir,  and  erected  it  into  a  con- 
stabulary, and  is  to  this  day  first  called  over  in  the  roll  of 
Peebles. 

Sir  Simon  Fraser  having  thrice  saved  the  life  and  re- 
mounted king  Robert  de  Brus,  in  the  battle  of  Methven, 
had  the  3  crowns  quartered  into  his  armorial  bearings. 

The  loyalty,  fidelity,  and  martial  achievements  acquired 
by  the  Frasers  at  Roslin,  Inverness,  Perth,  Edinburgh, 
Bannockburn,  &c,  are  well  recorded  in  history,  and  led  to 
the  alliance  with  king  Robert's  sister,  who  was  twice  mar- 
ried; by  which  marriages,  sir  John  Campbell,  ancestor  of 
Argyll,  and  sir  Alexander,  son  of  sir  Simon  Fraser,  ancestor 
of  Lovat,  were  uterine  brothers,  and  related  to  all  the  no- 
bility of  both  kingdoms,  as  appears  by  the  grants  and  char- 
ters preserved  and  described  by  Mr.  Robertson,  in  the 
register-office,  Edinburgh,  page  19,  Register,  No.  145, 
Charters  of  king  Robert  de  Brus ;  "  Marie,  sponse  Alex- 
andri  Fraser,  militis  sorori  nostre  dilecte,  et  Johanne 
Campbell,  filio  suo  nepoti  nostro,  pro  herangio  et  servitio, 
omnes  terras  et  tenementa,  que  fuerunt,  Davidis,  Comiti 
Atholiae,  in  comitatu  Athole,  que  idem  David  Foris  fecit." 

In  the  reign  of  king  Alexander  III.,  sir  Simon  Fraser,  son 
of  sir  Bernard  Fraser,  lineally  descended  from  thane  Oliver, 
was  gifted  with  the  lordship  of  Loveth  (vulgo,  Norvich),  by 
charter,  dated  at  Dunfermline,  1253,  and  appointed,  with 
his  brother,  sir  Francis  Fraser,  and  William  Fraser,  arch- 
bishop of  St.  Andrew's,  and  lord-chancellor  of  Scotland, 
along  with  his  cousin  sir  Richard  Fraser,  auditors  in  the 
competition  for  the  crown  of  Scotland  between  Bruce  and 
Baliol,  1291. 

From  lord  Hugh  Fraser,  created  by  king  James  I.  of 
Scotland,  lord  Fraser,  of  Loveth,  3  March  1426,  descend 
lineally  the  lords  Loveth,  or  Lovat ;  and  from  Alexander,

Sir  THOMAS-BOULDEN  THOMPSON,  Knt.,  Bart., 
G.C.B.,  born  28  Feb.  1768 ;  an  Admiral,  and  Treasurer  of 

Greenwich 


THOMPSON.  1073 

Greenwich  Hospital,  married  25  Feb.  1799,  Anne,  eldest 
daughter  of  Robert  Raikes,  of  Gloucester,  Esq.,  by  whom, 
who  was  b.  17  Sept.,  1771,  he  has  issue,  1.  Anne,  b.  17  June, 
1800;  2.  Thomas  Bouldeu,  d.  young;  3.  Thomas- Raikes- 
Tiigge,  b.  1  April  1804  ;  4.  Thomas-John,  d.  in  1807  ;  and 
5.  a  daughter,  b.  in  Sept.  1810. 

Sir  Thomas  entered  into  the  R.N.  in  1778  ;  in  Nov.  1790 
he  was  made  Post,  and  was  afterwards  employed,  with  the 
immortal  Nelson  and  others,  in  the  attack  on  Santa  Cruz,  in 
the  island  of  Teneriffe;  in  which,  notwithstanding  it 
proved  unsuccessful,  an  intrepidity  was  displayed  by  the 
officers  and  men  that  was  never  surpassed,  and  the  gallant 
Nelson  lost  his  right  arm  on  the  occasion.  The  share  which  Sir 
Thomas  had  in  the  Battle  of  the  Nile  was  mentioned  offi- 
cially with  the  highest  respect :  the  heroism  of  his  cha- 
racter and  the  vigour  of  his  genius  were  afterwards  fully 
manifested  in  his  subsequent  engagement  in  the  disabled 
Leander,  though  but  of  50  guns,  with  the  French  ship,  le 
Genereux,  of  74 ;  on  which  occasion  he  did  not  yield  until 
he  had  given  his  foe  a  severe  experiment  of  British  prow- 
ess. On  his  return  to  England,  after  being  exchanged,  he 
received  the  honor  of  knighthood,  13  Feb.,  1797,  and  a 
pension  of  £300.  per  annum  :  he  also  participitated  in  the 
victory  of  Copenhagen  in  1801,  in  which  he  had  the  mis- 
fortune to  lose  a  leg.  Sir  Thomas  was  created  a  Baronet 
as  above,  with,  we  believe,  his  pension  increased  from 
£300.  to  £500.  per  annum. 

Richard  Thompson  of  Hull,  m.  and  had  issue,  Edward, 
Thompson,  b.  at  Hull,  20  Nov.  1738,  entered  into  the  naval 
service ;  in  1756  he  was  sent  to  America,  where  he  expe- 
rienced many  adventures,  but  not  very  successful  ones  ;  in 
1759  he  was  in  the  Dorsetshire,  when  the  British  fleet, 
under  the  command  of  admiral  lord  Haivke,  gained  the  glo- 
rious victory  over  Conflans.  Being  the  intimate  friend  of 
the  celebrated  Charles  Churchill,  in  the  leisure  of  peace 
Mr.  Thompson  had  opportunities  of  cultivating  his  favorite 
study  of  poetry,  which  contributed  something  to  the  slender

the  good  fortune  to  capture  a  French  East-Indiaman  ;  in 
1785  he  had  the  command  of  the  Grampus,  on  board

under  cover  of  small  arms  ;  received  the  honour  of  Knight-

board  the  Leander,  after  a  severe  action ;  in  1798  was  ap- 
pointed to  the  Command  of  the  Fo  udroyant  of  80  guns  ; 
was  present  at  the  capture  of  the  said  Genereux,  and  the

mentthe  Foudroyant  expended  162  barrels  of  powder,  and 
fired  2749  cannon-shot  of  various  sizes  ;  she  had  88  men 
killed  and  61  wounded.  In  the  same  year  Sir  Edward  con- 
ducted the  Royal  Family  of  Naples  from  Palermo  to  Leg- 
horn, on  which  occasion  he  received  a  gold  box  and  valu- 
able ring  from  the  amiable  but  ill-fated  sister  of  the  much- 
lamented  Maria-Antoinette,  Queen  of  France.  In  1805 
Sir  Edward  made  an  extraordinary  escape  from  the  French 
squadron  off  Cape  Finisterre,  in  the  Agamemnon,  in  which 
ship  he  was  in  the  weather  column,  at  the  glorious  battle 
off  Cape  Trafalgar,  and  at  the  victory  off  St.  Domingo,

SCOTT  (late  Sibbahl),  of  Sitwood-Park,  co.  Berks. 
13  Dec.  1806. 

Sir  DAVID  SCOTT,  Bart.,  succeeded  his  uncle,  Sir 
James  Sibbald,  17  Sept.  1819,  agreeable  to  the  limitation 
of  the  Patent. 

It  appears  from  sir  Robert  Sibbald's  "  History  of  Scot- 
land," that  the  name  of  Sibbald  is  very  ancient  in  North 
Britain  :  it  appears  from  the  same  author,  that  Duncauus 
Sibbald  was  witness  to  the  charter  of  Rogerus  Comes  de 
Winton,  to  Syerus  de  Seton,  temp.  Alexander  II.,  in  1246  ; 
and  in  the  same  year  Donatus  Sibbald  is  witness  to  the 
charter  of  the  same  earl  of  Winton,  to  Adam  de  Seton,  de 
Moritagio  heredisalani  de  Fauside.  Matthens  Sybbald  is 
testis  to  several  charters  of  Duncan,  the  last  earl  of  Fife, 
of  the  Macduff's  ;  and  Thomas  Sybald  Miles  is  testis  in

JONES  (late  TYRWHITT),  of  Stanley-Half.,  co.  Salop. 
3  Oct.  1808. 

Sir  THOMAS-JOHN-TYRWHITT  JONES,  Bart.,  born 

12  July 


JONES- 

1-2  July  1793,  succeeded  his  father,  Sir  Thomas,  24  Nov. 
1811,  M.P.  in  the  present  Parliament  for  Bridgenortb  ; 
married  June  1821,  Elizabeth  Walwyn,  youngest  daughter 
of  the  late  John  Macnamara,  of  the  Island  of  St.  Christo- 
pher, Esq. 

The  family  of  Tyrivhitt  is  of  very  ancient  establishment 
in  England,  and  has  been  much  celebrated  for  the  scien- 
tific knowledge  and  literary  works  of  some  of  its  later  in- 
dividuals. 

Robert  Tyrivhitt,  in  the  reign  of  king  Edward  II.,  possess- 
ed  the  lordship  of  Kettleby,  whose  son,  sir  William  Tyrwhitt, 

by  the  da.  and  heiress  of Gravett,  became  father  or 

sir  Robert,  and  he  of  sir  William ;  whose  grandson,  sir  Ro- 
bert, had  issue,  sir  William,  of  Kettleby,  who  was  buried 
in  Lincoln  cathedral  1322.  Some  of  the  individuals  of  this 
family  were  high  sheriffs,  co.  York,  1435,  and  of  Lincoln  ill 
1481. 

Thomas  Tyrivhitt,  son  of  the  rev.  Dr.  Tynvhitt  (by  the 
eldest  da.  of  Edmund  Gibson,  lord  bishop  of  London)  pur- 
sued the  study  of  the  law,  and  was  called  to  the  bar  at  the 
commencement  of  the  war,  1756  ;  he  accepted  the  office  of 
deputy-secretary  at  war,  under  his  friend,  William,  2d 
visct.  Harrington  ;  1762  he  succeeded  Jeremiah  Dyson, 
esq.  as  principal  clerk  of  the  house  of  commons ;  but  the 
constant  fatigues  and  late  hours  of  that  office  proved  too 
much  for  his  health  ;  and  at  the  close  of  the  three  years  he 
resigned  it  to  John  Hatsell,  esq.,  the  person  who  at  present 
so  ably  fills  that  arduous  situation.  He  became  F.R.  and 
A.S.S.,  and  d.  15  Aug.  1786, having  been  highly  distinguish- 
ed for  his  extraordinary  share  of  classical  learning  and  cri- 
tical acumen,  besides  a  knowledge  of  almost  every  Eu- 
ropean tongue.  Mr.  Tynvhitt  was  deeply  conversant  in 
the  learning  of  Greece  and  Rome,  of  which  latter  acquisi- 
tion some  valuable  tracts  are  indubitable  testimony :  he  was 
also  thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  old  English  writers,, 
and  his  critical  efforts  were  zealously  directed  to  restore  the 
genuine  text  of  Shakespeare. 

The  family  of  Jones  is,  doubtless,  of  ancient  British  ori* 
gin;  and  wherever  its  possessors  might  at  various  periods 
have  fixed  themselves,  still  their  primary  connexioRs  may 
be  traced  to  some  part  or  other  of  Wales.  Under  this  sup- 
position, the  opportunity  is  here  made  use  of  in  noticing 
the  very  celebrated  sir  William  Jones,  late  chief-justice  m

Bengal ;  a  connexion  rather  flattering  than  the  contrary  to 
the  present  family,  even  should  it  prove  erroneous.  The 
origin  of  sir  William  Jones's  family,  on  the  maternal  side, 
has  been  traced  to  the  ancient  princes  and  chieftains  of 
North  Wales.  It  may  be  sufficient  to  observe,  that  the 
father  of  sir  William  was  William  Jones,  the  celebrated  ma- 
thematician, born  in  Anglesea,  1675,  who  so  eminently 
distinguished  himself  in  the  commencement  of  the  last  cen- 
tury, and  was  honoured  with  the  friendship  of  the  great  earl 
of  Hardwicke,  sir  Isaac  Newton,  the  earl  of  Macclesfield, 
and  many  other  distinguished  persons.  By  his  wife,  Mary 
Knix,  he  had  3  children,  the  youngest  of  whom  was  the 
above  sir  William  Jones,  knt. ;  his  father  d.  in  1749,  of  a 
disorder  wholly  incurable,  a  polypus  of  the  heart. 

I.  Sir  THOMAS-JONES,  b.  1  Sept.  1765  ;  and  in  1790, 
in  pursuance  of  the  will  of  his  cousin,  sir  Thomas  Jones,  of 
Stanley-hall,  co.  of  Salop,  knt.,  took  the  name  and  arms  of

Sir  ANDREW  CORBET,  Bart.,  married,  23  April  1790, 

Mary, 


CORBET.  1037 

Mary,  eldest  daughter  of  Thomas  Taylor,  of  Lymme-Hall, 
co.  Chester,  Esq.,  and  has  issue,  1.  Andrew-Vincent 9  b.  15 
June  1800,  married,  19  Sept.  1820,  Rachel,  eldest  daughter 
of  Colonel  John  Hill,  of  Hard  wicke,  and  niece  of  Lord  Hill; 
2.  Judith,  b.  29  Jan.  1802  ;  3.  Richard,  b.  16  May  1804 ;  4. 
Robert,  b.  2  Dec.  1805  ;  and  5.  Vincent-Roger,  b.  8  Dec. 
1808. 


As  to  the  antiquity  of  this  family  in  England,  it  is  well 
known  that  Corbeau,  or  Corbet,  a  noble  Norman,  came  over 
with  William  the  Conqueror,  in  whose  reign  he  was  one  of 
the  principal  persons  entrusted  and  employed  under  Roger, 
earl  of  Shrewsbury,  in  his  co.  of  Salop,  together  with  Ro- 
bert and  Roger,  two  of  his  sons,  of  whom  Ordoricus  Vitalis, 
who  was  a  contemporary  author,  gives  a  character,  that 
"  the  said  earl  was  a  prudent  and  moderate  man,  a  great 
lover  of  equity,  and  of  discreet  and  modest  person;"  and 
adds,  "  he  being  freely  assisted  by  the  wisdom  and  courage 
of  the  said  Corbet,  and  his  2  sons,  Robert  and  Roger  (among 
other  principal  persons)  was  as  glorious  amougst  the  great- 
est nobles  as  any  of  them  all,  by  keeping  the  Welsh  in  awe, 
and  the  whole  province  in  peace." 

Roger,  eldest  son,  gave  Wentelage  to  the  Benedictine 
monks,  of  the  great  abbey  in  the  east  part  of  Shrewsbury, 
which  was  built  there  in  1083,  and  is  styled  by  Rapin,  and 
other  writers,  St.  Bennet's,  to  which  William  and  Everard, 
his  sons,  were  consenting ;  at  the  same  time  Robe:  t,  his 
brother,  bestowed  on  the  monks  of  the  said  abbey,  Nute- 
nore,  with  the  tithes  of  that  town,  and  the  tithes  of  Joche- 
Hulle,  as  also  the  town  of  Lochestone. 

The  above-named  Robert  had  a  son,  Robert,  lord  of  Al- 
cester,  co.  Warwick,  who  d.  without  issue ;  and  2  das. 
Sandford  styles  him  sir  Robert,  and  says,  that  "  Sybil,  one 
of  his  das.,  had  a  son,  Reginald,  created  baron  of  Castle- 
comb  and  earl  of  Cornwall ;  and  from  her,  by  Hen.  Fitzher- 
bert,  chamberlain  to  Henry  I.,  are  descended  the  noble  fa- 
mily of  Herbert,  earls  of  Pembroke,  and  other  peers  of  this 
family  ;"  and  Philpot  says,  from  the  said  "  Sybil  Corbet  are 
descended  the  noble  family  of  the  Pinches,  earls  of  Win- 
chilsea  and  Nottingham,  Sec,  of  the  said  family."  From 
Alice,  another  da.  of  sir  Robert,  who  m.  Wm.  Botreaux,  of 
Boscastle,  the  noble  family  of  the  earls  of  Huntingdon  are 
descended.  The  said  Roger  Corbet,  brother  of  Robert,  had 
F  f  2  issue. 


1088  CORBET. 

issue,  Wm.  Corbet,  of  Wattlesborough  and  Caits-Castle ; 
and  Everard.  Their  cousin  William  (frequently  styled  Cor- 
bet) was  a  monk  of  the  above  mentioned  abbey  at  Shrews- 
bury, afterwards  prior  of  Chich,co.  Essex,  founded  in  1120, 
by  kichd.  de  Baums,  bishop  of  London,  from  whence  he 
was,  in  1123,  translated  to  the  see  of  Canterbury,  in  which 
he  continued  till  1136,  when  he  d.  during  his  primacy. 
Part  of  his  cathedral  was  burnt,  which  the  archbishop  re- 
paired at  his  own  expense,  then  invited  the  king,  queen, 
David,  king  of  Scots,  and  the  nobility  of  both  kingdoms,  to 
the  dedication,  which  he  celebrated  in  their  presence,  4  May 
1130,  being  Rogation  Sunday,  with  such  solemnities,  that 
the  like  was  never  equalled  since  the  dedication  of  the  Tem- 
ple of  Jerusalem  by  Solomon  ;  in  and  at  which  dedication 
the  church's  name  was  changed  from  the  church  of  the  Holy 
Trinity  to  Christ's  Church,  which  last  name  it  continues  to 
this  day.  The  above-named  William,  eldest  son  of  the  said 
Roger  Corbet,  had  also  2  sons,  Thomas  of  Wattlesborough, 
and  Robert  of  Cans. 

Thomas,  eldest  son,  who  travelled  into  foreign  countries, 
left  his  lands  in  custody  of  his  brother,  Robert  of  Cans. 
From  the  said  Thomas,  of  Wattlesborough,  are  descended 
the  present  sir  Andrew  Corbet,  of  Moreton-Corbet,  bart.;  and 
sir  Corbet  Corbet,  of  Stoke  and  Adderly ;  and  from  Robert, 
of  Caus,  the  Corbets  of  Leigh  and  Hope  descended,  also  the 
Corbets  of  Newton,  Leighton,  Slindom,  and  Lougnor.  Sir 
Richard  Corbet  is  in  the  register  of  those  noblemen  and 
gentlemen  who  accompanied  king  Richard  I.  to  the  siege 
of  Aeon  ;  since  which  we  find  nineteen  of  this  family  in  the 
rolls  of  those  who  served  in  the  several  battles,  sieges,  and 
actions  following :  viz.  at  Agincourt,  Grafton,  the  sacking 
of  Cadiz,  and  in  the  several  wars  against  the  Welsh,  Scots, 
French,  and  others,  in  the  reigns  of  Hen.  III.,  Edw.  I., 
Edw.  II.,  Edw.  III.,  Hen.  V.,  Edw.  IV.,  Hen.  VII.,  and 
Hen.  VIII.  In  1192  sir  FuUc  Corbet  was  knighted:  be- 
tween which  period  and  1625,  we  find  seventy-one  knights 
of  this  family,  of  which  Roger  was  a  knight-banneret,  1344. 
Another  Roger  was  knighted  in  the  field  beside  Tewkes- 
bury, 4  May .     Robert  was  the  seventh  knight  of  the 

bath  of  fifty-seven  knights  made  at  the  marriage  of  prince 
Arthur  1498.  In  1231,  upon  complaint  from  Llewellin, 
prince  of  Albeth,  against  Thos.  Corbet,  and  others,  the  king 
returns  an  answer,  dated  at  Baldoff,  Feb.  20,  eodem  anno, 
whereby  he  clears  him  of  the  said  charge.  The  said  Tho- 
iiws  was  one  of  the  baron  marchers  1232.  To  the  above- 
named 


CORBET.  1089 

named  Thomas,  among  other  baron-marchers,  1237,  the  king 
sent  his  precept,  dated  March  8,  at  Tewkesbury,  to  attend 
him  at  Oxford,  upon  Tuesday  next  after  the  octave  of  Eas- 
ter, there  to  consult  touching  prince  Llewellin's  taking 
homage  of  the  great  men  in  Wales:  the  said  Thomas  also 
attended  the  king  1256  in  his  expedition  into  Wales,  and 
had  command  to  assist  Hamon  L'Estrange  in  preventing  the 
incursions  of  the  Welsh  towards  Montgomery;  and  1257  to 
fit  himself  with  horse  and  arms  to  attend  the  king  at  Ches- 
ter, on  Monday  next  after  the  feast  of  St.  John  the  Baptist, 
thence  to  march  against  the  Welsh,  then  in  hostility.  The 
said  Thomas,  who  m.  Isabel,  da  of  Reginald,  and  sister  of 
Roger  Valletort,  baron  of  Haberton,  her  brother  giving  with 
her,  in  free  marriage,  thirty-three  knights'  fees  and  a  half* 
belonging  to  the  said  barony ;  d.  in  1291.  From  him  de- 
scended Peter  Corbet,  who  had  summons  forthwith  to  at- 
tend the  king,  to  advise  in  parliament  about  the  most  im- 
portant affairs  of  the  realm.  The  said  Peter  was  summoned 
by  writ,  dated  Canterbury, 3  Oct.  1294,  to  attend  the  king's 
brother  at  Plymouth,  upon  All  Saints'  Day,  in  order  for 
them  to  sail  thence  to  carry  on  the  wars  in  France. 

15  July  1295,  Peter  Corbet  was  witness  to  an  instrument 
in  custody  of  the  chamberlain  of  the  exchequer,  whereby 
several  noblemen  of  Scotland  renounce  a  confederacy  be- 
tween the  king  of  France  and  themselves ;  and  the  said 
Peter  was  again,  1296,  in  the  wars  against  France  ;  1298  he 
was  found  to  be  one  of  the  next  heirs  of  Roger  Valletort,  a 
great  baron  in  the  west:  the  same  Peter,  barcn,  &c.  d. 
seised  of  the  manor  of  Denneweston,  a  member  of  the  ba- 
rony of  Caus,  &c,  1299,  after  having  been  summoned  to 
parliament  in  1294,  6,  8,  and  9.  From  the  aforesaid  Peter 
descended  Peter  Corbet,  another  baron  of  the  realm  (Tho- 
mas d.  during  the  lifetime  of  his  father ;  and  John,  b.  1297), 
to  whom,  1301,  the  king  sent  a  summons  with  John,  earl 
of  Surrey,  and  others,  concerning  his  army  in  Scotland : 
in  1304  Henry  de  Pomroy  and  Peter  Corbet  made  seisin  of 
the  manor  of  Tremington,  and  the  advowson  of  the  church, 
together  with  the  borough  of  Aih,  the  manor  of  Calistock, 
and  the  advowson  of  the  church,  and  fifty,  or  fifty-four, 
knights'  fees  in  Cornwall  and  Devonshire  ;  which  by  writ, 
dated  April  6,  was  sent  to  the  judges  ;  on  which  occasion  was 
produced  a  grant  from  Roger  Valletort  of  the  premises,  and 
of  Sutton  and  Makaton  to  Richard,  king  of  the  Romans 
and  earl  of  Cornwall,  and  to  the  heirs  of  his  body,  who  dy- 
ing without  issue,  the  king  entered  upon  his  lands,  against

which  they  prayed  relief,  which  complaint  the  judges  re- 
mitted to  the  parliament,  and  the  parliament  remitted  it  to 
the  judges.    The  said  Peter  gave  his  ancient  seat  of  New- 
ton, formerly  called  Brown-Castle,  a  garrison  to  Caus,  and 
the  township  thereto  belonging,  to  his  nephew  sir  Roht. 
Corbet,  for  his  great  and  good  services :    in  1326   writs 
were  issued,  dated  at  Ramsay,  summoning  persons  to  ap- 
pear at  Newcastle-upon-Tyne,  the  Monday  after  the  As- 
cension, to  attend  the  king's  service  in  his  expedition  into 
Scotland;   on  which  occasion  Pvyce  Corbet,  of  Caus,  was 
summoned  among  others  :    2  Oct.  1336,  William,  earl  of 
Northampton,  was  commissioned  to  treat  with  Philip,  king 
of  France,  touching  king  Edward's  right  to  that  crown ; 
on  which  occasion  the  said  sir  Robert  Corbet,  of  Newton, 
going  with  the  earl,  had  letters  of  protection,  which  pro- 
tection was  afterwards  renewed  by  letters  patent,  dated 
at  the  Tower  of  London,  3  May  1337 :  14  July  1344,  the 
king  summoned  several  to  attend  him  with  horse  and  arms 
at  the  feast  of  St.  Laurence,  and  sail  along  with  him  into 
France ;  on  which  occasion  a  writ  was  directed  to  Hugh 
Courtney,  earl  of  Devon,  &c;   Roger  Corbet,  of  the  co, 
Salop,  knight  and  banneret,  &c;  and  5  Dec.  1362,  Wal- 
ter Corbet  had  letters  of  safe  conduct  to  come  to  England, 
with  two  persons  to  attend  him.     In  1401  sir  Robert  Corbet 
was  the   king's   chamberlain,  and  one  of  the  proxies  of 
lady  Phillippa,  the  king's  da.,  for  her  marriage  with  Er- 
lick,  king  of  Denmark  ;  the  proxy  was  dated  at  the  prince 
of  Wales's  castle,  14  May  1404;   in  1235,  Brickmarsh,  co. 
Warwick,  was  the  inheritance  of  Wm.  Corbet,  of  Chad- 
desJey-Corbet,  co.  of  Worcester.   Queen  Elizabeth,  in  1574, 
made  sir  Roht.  Corbet  her  envoy  to  the  king  of  Spain,  &c. 
In  order  to  point  out  the  descent  of  the  families  of  More- 
ton-Corbet,  Stoke,  and  Adderly,  the  reader  must  revert  to 
Thomas  Corbet,  eldest  son  of  William  Corbet,  of  Wattles- 
borough  and  Caus,  who,  while  on  his  travels,  left  his  lands 
in  custody  of  his  brother  Robert,  of  Caus-Castle:  this  Ro-

WOOD,  of  Gatton,  co.  Surrey. 
3  Oct.  1803. 

Sir  MARK  WOOD,  created  a  Baronet,  as  above,  holds 
the  rank  of  Colonel  in  the  East  India  Company's  service, 
and  is  M.P.  for  Gatton.  Sir  Mark,  on  the  decease  of  John 
Wood,  Esq.,  late  Governor  and  Captain-General  of  the  Isle 
of  Man,  without  issue  male,  became  the  heir  male  and  re- 
presentative of  the  ancient  Woods  of  Largo,  and  chief  of 
the  name;  and,  18  Aug.  1809,  Sir  Mark  obtained  a  grant 
from  the  Lyon-Office,  Edinburgh,  of  the  arms  granted  to 
Sir  William  :  married  miss  Dashwood,  of  co.  Somerset,  and 
has  issue,  Mark;  and  Rachael,  m.,  13  June  1816,  William- 
Joseph  Lockwood,  of  Dews-Hall,  co.  Essex,  Esq. 

There  have  been  several  families  of  this  name  in  North 
Britain,  from  which  country  the  present  family  derives  its 
origin,  the  Woods  of  Colpny,  co.  Aberdeen  ;  of  B»ynton,  ba- 
ronets; of  Craig,  of  La  go,  of  Grangehaugh,  &c;  all  of 
whom  bore  trees  or  boughs  in  their  armorial  bearings,  in  al- 
lusion to  their  ancient  name,  de  Boieo,  so  written  in  various 
early  evidences,  writs,  and  records,  particularly  in  a  charter 
of  king  William  to  the  town  of  Inverness,  in  the  2d  year  of 
his  reign,  and  several  charters  of  king  Alexander  II. ;  in  the 
former  of  which  we  find  the  names  of  Willitlmiis  de  Boreo, 
cancellarius  regis,  and  Hugo  de  Boreo,  mentioned  as  wit- 
nesses;  and  in  the  latter,  Thomas  de  Boreo,  in  the  same 
capacity.  The  immediate  ancestor  of  the  branch  of  the 
Woods  now  under  consideration  was 

Alexander  Hood,  of  Perth,  co.  Fife,  esq.,  a  lineal  descend- 
ant from  the  Woods  of  Largo,  who  d.  1778,  leaving  issue, 
1.  sir  Mark, present  hart.;  2.  sir  George,  K.C.B.,  of  Ot- 
tershaw  Park,  co.  Surrey,  col.  in  the  Bengal  infantry  ;  3. 
sir  James,  knt.,  entered  at  an  early  age  into  the  R.N.;  in 
Dec.  1806,  he  was  appointed  to  assist  in  the  expedition  des- 
tined against  Curaroa,  which  surrendered   to  the  British

arms  in  Jan.  180?  :  lie  was  second  in  command  on  this  gal- 
lant enterprise  ;  for  his  spirited  conduct  in  which  he  re- 
ceived a  gold  medal  and  the  honour  of  knighthood. 

Andrew,  who  entered  into  the  R.N.  at  the  same  time  with 
his  brother,  sir  James,  and  went  to  India  some  time  sub- 
sequent to  the  peace  in  1783.     At  the  period  when  a  war 
was  expected  with  Spain,  lie  was  sent,  by  order  of  govern- 
ment, in  the  command,  as  a  lieutenant  of  a  small  vessel,  to 
the  Streights  of  Sunda,  for  the  purpose  of  informing  thirty 
rich  East  India  ships  of  the  circumstance.     Unfortunately 
his  ship  was  wrecked  at  the  entrance  of  the  Streights,  and 
with  difficulty  he  and  his  crew  escaped  to  the  shore :  im- 
pressed, however,  with  a  strong  sense  of  the  importance  of 
his  mission,  he  took  an  open  boat,  and  in  defiance  of  the 
elements  and  of  the  Malays  (who  murdered  more  than  half 
of  his  crew),  he  cruised  in  the  Streights  during  three  months, 
and  succeeded  in  giving  the  necessary  information  to  twen- 
ty-nine sail  out  of  the  thirty.     Approving  highly  of  his  dili- 
gence and  intrepidity,  marquess  Cornwallis,  sir  Archibald 
Campbell,  and  sir  Win.  Meadows,  K.B.,  concurred  in  re- 
commending him  for  promotion.    Anxious  to  reach  England, 
Mr.  Wood  bought  a  boat  of  less  than  5  tons,  had  her  decked, 
and  with  3  Lascars  on  board,  embarked  for  the  Cape  of 
Good  Hope,  where  he  safely  arrived  after  a  passage  of  63 
days.     Not  finding  any  ship  at  the  Cape  that  was  proceed- 
ing to  England,  conceiving  the  most  perilous  part  of  his 
voyage  to  be  over,  he  again  embarked  in  his  small  boat  with 
three  foreign  seamen ;  but,  to  the  deep  regret  of  all  who 
knew  him,  he  has  never  since  been  heard  of.     The  5th  son 
was  Thomas,  who  d.  abroad,  leaving  a  da.  Elizabeth. 

I.  Sir  MARK,  the  eldest  son,  was  created  a  hart.  3  Oct. 
1808.

the  Ceremony  of  the  Baptism  was  performed  30  Nov.  in  the 
Palace  of  the  Empress  Dowager  of  all  the  Russias,  who

The  family  of  Ouseley,  Ousley,  and  Owesley,  according  to 
the  crude  orthography  of  early  times,  is  of  high  antiquity, 
and  was  formerly  divided  into  many  branches.  The  prin- 
cipal stock,  or  elder  line,  seem  to  have  fixed  themselves 
in  Shropshire;  and  to  have  intermarried  with  several 
ancient  houses,  as  the  Brays,  Conways,  Staffords,  Salisburys, 
&c.  Richard  Ouseley,  the  undoubted  ancestor  of  the  present 
bart,  whom,  in  1571,  we  find  lord  of  the  manor  of  Courtein- 
Hall,  co.  Northampton,  m.  1st,  the  relict  of  sir  Miles  Par- 
tridge, and  by  her  had  no  issue,  and  2dly  Magdalen,  da.

12  children.  This  John  was  grandson  of  Roger  Wake,  of 
Blisworth,  co.  Northampton,  who  was  distinguished  by  the 
appellation  of  "  the  great  Wakef  and  through  this  mar- 
riage the  posterity  of  Richard  Ousely  descended  from 
many  of  the  most  ancient  and  illustrious  families  in  Eng- 
land.    It  appears  from  the  will  of  Richard  Ouseley,  which 


OUSELEY.  1099 

was  proved  in  the  prerogative  court  of  Canterbury,  that 
he  received  the  manor  of  Courtein-Hali  in  gift  from  the 
crown  ;  and  he  speaks  of  it  in  that  document  as  a  very  in- 
adequate reward  for  ''50  years'  service",  probably  in  the 
army  ;  he  d.  10  July  1580. 

John  Ouseley,  the  eldest  of  his  numerous  issue,  succeeded 
to  his  estates,  and  was  knighted  by  James  I.,  23  July 
1603.  He  embraced  in  early  life  the  military  profession, 
and  is  frequently  mentioned  by  the  more  minute  historians 
of  that  period  as  captain  of  100  men.  It  appears  from 
"  Purchas's  Pilgrim"  (vol.  i.  p.  1925),  that,  in  1589,  the 
earl  of  Essex,  then  commanding  the  English  in  Portugal, 
sent  captain  Ouseley  (undoubtedly  the  gentleman  of  whom 
we  are  speaking),  envoy  to  the  emperor  of  Morocco  :  he  wi. 
Martha,  da.  of  Bartholomew  Tate,  of  Delapre  Abbey,  near 
Northampton,  esq.  (the  present  seat  of  Edward  Bouverie, 
esq.,)  and  dying  in  the  prime  of  life  at  the  siege  of  Breda, 
where  he  had  a  command,  was  buried  at  Williamstadt. 

Sir  John  was  succeeded  by  his  eldest  son,  Richard,  who, 
about  the  year  1650,  sold  the  manor  of  Courtein-Hall  to  sir 
William  Jones,  knt.,  who  bequeathed  it  to  William  Wake, 
esq.,  from  whom  it  passed,  by  inheritance,  to  sir  William 
Wake,  bart.,  the  present  possessor.  Richard  Ouseley  m. 
Mary,  da.  of  Mark  Parker,  of  Olney,  or  Underwood,  co. 
Bucks,  esq.;  and  Richurd,  his  son,  was  b.  at  Courtein-Hall, 
1625,  and  dying  without  issue,  was  succeeded  by  his  next 

brother,  Jasper,  who  m.  Sarah,  da.  of Chambers,  of 

the  kingdom  of  Ireland,  and  left  a  son,  Jasper,  b.  in  1660, 
and  d.  1755,  having  m.  Dorothy,  da.  of  the  rev.  Jas.  John- 
stone, of  North  Britain.    William  Ouseley,  the  son  of  this  2d

Priscilla,  da.  of  Wm.  Gray,  esq.,  and  by  her  had  Elizabeth 
(who  is  now  living),  the  relict  of  Robt.  Wills,  esq.;  by  his 
2d  marriage  (7  Feb.  1739-40)  with  Margaret,  da.  of  George 
Lee,  co.  York,  esq.,  he  had  Ralph,  father  of  the  present 
bart.,  who  in.  Elizabeth,  da.  of  Hen.  Holland,  of  Limerick, 
esq.,  and  dying  18  Feb.  1803,  left  issue,  1.  sir  William, 
LL.D.,  the  eldest  son,  who  was  knighted  under  the  vice- 
royalty  of  the  marquess  Cornwallis  ;  author  of  several  learn- 
ed oriental  works ;  and  who,  with  every  natural  and  acquired 
qualification  to  render  him  assistance,  accompanied  his 
brother,  sir  Gore,  in  his  embassy  to  the  court  of  Persia;  in. 
6  March  1796,  Julia-Frances,  da.  of  the  late  lieut.-col.  John

HOOD,  of  Tidlake,  co.  Surrey. 
13  April  1809. 

Sir  ALEXANDER  HOOD,  Bart.,  succeeded  his  uncle 
Sir  Samuel,  24  Dec.  1814;  married,  3  Aug.  1815,  Amelia- 
Anne,  youngest  daughter  of  Sir  Hugh  Bateman,  Bart.,  and 
has  issue  a  son  and  heir,  b.  23  Oct.  1816  j  a  daughter,  b.  4 
Feb.  1818,  and  another  daughter,  b.  16  Nov.  1820. 

The  first  of  this  family  on  record  is  Alexander  Hood,  of 
Mosterton,  co.  Dorset,  who  m.  Elizabeth,  da.  of  the  rev. 
Mr.  Beach,  and  had  issue,  1.  Alexander;  2.  Arthur,  in 
holy  orders,  d.  unm;  3.  Samuel,  in  holy  orders,  father  of  the 
late  lords  Hood  and  Bridport ;  Alexander  the  eldest  son, 
succeeded  to  the  estate  of  Mosterton,  having  m.  Anne  Way, 
and  had  issue,  Arthur,  who  sold  Mosterton,  and  d.  unm. ;  and 
Samuel  Hood,  of  Kingsland,  co.  Dorset,  esq.,  whom.  Anne, 
da.  of  Jas.  Bern,  of  Westbury,  co.  Wilts,  esq.,  and  had  is- 
sue, 1.  Arthur,  who  was  unfortunately  drowned  in  the  Po- 
mona sloop,  which  foundered  in  a  hurricane  on  the  Leeward 
Island  station  in  1775  ;  2.  Alexander,  capt.  R.N.,  circum- 
navigated the  globe  with  capt.  Cook,  and  served  many 
years  with  indefatigable  zeal  and  great  reputation,  and  was 
killed  on  board  the  Mars,  21  April  1793,  at  the  close  of  a 
successful  action  with  the  French  ship  l'Hcrcule,  a  victory 

tha

that  will  ever  exalt  the  national  glory  of  Great  Britain,  m. 
Elizabeth,  da.  of  John  Periam,  of  Butley  Wooton,  co.  So- 
merset, and  had  issue  by  her  (who  survived  him)  an  only 
son  Alexander,  the  present  bart. ;  and  3.  Samuel,  K.B., 
K.T.S.,  and  K.F.,  anxious  to  pursue  the  paths  of  naval  ho- 
nour he  entered  at  the  age  of  14  as  midshipman  on  board 
the  Courageux,  then  commanded  by  Samuel,  the  present 
visct.  Hood.  In  this  ship,  and  the  Robust,  commanded 
by  the  late  visct.  Bridport,  K.B.,  he  remained  until  1779; 
having,  in  1798,  been  present,  in  the  latter  ship,  at  the 
capture  of  the  two  French  frigates,  the  Pallas  and  the 
Licorne  ;  and  in  the  same  year  shared  in  the  memorable 
engagement  between  adml.  Keppel  and  D'Orvilliers,  when 
he  had  the  honour  of  serving  as  aide-de-camp  to  the  capt. 
of  the  Robust. 

In  1780,  Mr.  Hood  having  removed  to  the  Lively  sloop, 
was  present  at  the  capture  of  la  Duchesse  de  Chaitres,  a 
French  privateer,  after  a  short  action.  At  the  latter  end 
of  this  year,  lord  Hood  having  hoisted  a  rear-adml's.  flag 
in  the  Barfleur,  Mr.  Hood  accompanied  him  as  acting  lieut. 
and  lieut.  until  the  31st  of  Jan.  1782  (when  he  was  pro- 
moted to  the  rank  of  commander,  and  appointed  to  the  Re- 
nard  sloop)  intermediately  exerting  himself  in  the  battle 
with  De  Grasse,  off  Martinique,  29  April  1781  ;  in  that  of 
the  Chesapeake  on  the  following  5th  of  September  ;  and  in 
the  actions  at  St.  Kitts  on  the  25th  and  26th  of  Jan.  Not- 
withstanding his  recent  appointment,  as  the  Renard  was 
only  a  convalescent  ship,  he  was  present  at  the  actions  of 
the  9th  and  12th  of  April  1782  ;  and  on  the  19th  of  the  same 
month,  at  the  capture  of  a  French  squadron  in  the  Mona 
passage.  During  this  year  also  he  met  with  a  very  serious 
accident:  when  the  Barfleur  was  lying  in  Port  Royal  har- 
bour, in  Jamaica,  a  fire  having  broken  out  in  a  merchant- 
man not  very  distant,  capt.  Hood  was  actively  employed  in 
the  hold  in  making  some  necessary  clearance  to  enable  the 
Barfleur  to  escape  out  of  the  reach  of  the  flames,  when  a 
hawser,  suddenly  removed  from  the  spot  where  he  stood, 
materially  injured  one  of  his  legs,  the  consequences  of  which 
he  felt  to  his  death. 

From  this  period,  in  consequence  of  the  peace,  capt. 
Hood  was  placed  in  a  state  of  inactivity,  until  1785,  when 
he  was  appointed  to  the  Weazle  sloop,  and  directed  to  sur- 
vey the  coasts  and  harbours  on  the  Halifax  station.  For  his 
vigilance  and  activity  in  this  service  he  obtained  a  post 
captain's  commission,  and  the  command  of  the  Thisbe  fri- 
g  g  3  gate  ; 


1102  HOOD. 

gate  ;  in  which  he  returned  to  England  in  1789.  In  1790 
lie  was  appointed  to  the  Juno,  and  ordered  to  Jamaica:  on 
tiiis  station,  however,  nothing  particular  occurred  until  the 
following  year,  when,  at  his  personal  risk,  in  a  small  boat, 
and  in  a  violent  hurricane,  he  had  the  gratification  of  res- 
cuing three  men  from  a  wreck  at  sea.  Perceiving  some 
hesitation  on  the  part  of  his  sailors  to  dare  the  waves,  he 
was  the  first  to  enter  the  boat,  undauntedly  exclaiming,  "  J 
never  gave  an  order  to  a  sailor  in  my  life  which  I  was  not  ready 
to  undertake  and  execute  myself." 

For  this  gallant  and  humane  exertion,  the  government  of 
Jamaica  remitted  the  sum  of  100  guineas,  for  the  purchase 
of  a  sword,  to  their  agent  in  London ;  which,  on  capt.  Hood's 
return  to  England,  in  1791,  was  presented  to  him,  accom- 
panied by  the  most  flattering  testimonies.  Capt.  Hood  en- 
joyed an  interval  of  relaxation  until  1793,  when  being  re- 
appointed to  his  old  ship,  the  Juno,  and  ordered  up  the 
Mediterranean,  he  was  very  actively  employed,  and  had  a 
very  narrow  escape,  in  consequence  of  entering  Toulon  har- 
bour after  its  evacuation  by  his  noble  relative.  Never, 
perhaps,  was  greater  presence  of  mind  exhibited  by  a  com- 
mander and  his  crew  than  in  this  imminent  peril. 

Early  in  the  following  year,  capt.  Hood  was  employed 
in  the  reduction  of  the  island  of  CuraQoa,  during  which  he 
superintended  the  exertions  of  the  British  seamen  on  shore, 
and  rendered  the  greatest  service  in  the  attack  on  Bastia, 
and  the  capture  of  Caivi :  on  which  latter  occasion  he  served 
in  l'Aigle  frigate.  Capt.  Hood  was  next  employed,  in  the 
same  vessel,  in  the  command  of  a  small  squadron  in  the  Ar- 
chipelago, for  protecting  the  trade,  and  blockading  a  squad- 
ron of  the  enemy's  frigates  of  equal  force  at  Smyrna.  For 
his  exertions  in  effecting  this  important  purposes,  he  re- 
ceived the  thanks  of  the  Levant  company,  and  British  fac- 
tory at  Smyrna,  conveyed  in  the  most  handsome  manner. 

In  1796,  capt.  Hood  was  appointed  to  the  Zealous,  of  74 
guns,  in  which,  during  that  year,  he  was  actively  employed 
under  sir  John  Jervis  (now  earl  of  St.  Vincent,  K.B.,  and 
K.T.S.),  off  Toulon;  and  by  his  spirited  and  judicious  con- 
duct in  effecting  the  return  of  the  British  troops  and  sea- 
men from  their  disastrous  attack,  he  had  the  satisfaction  to 
endear  himself  to  that  gallant  officer,  and  to  his  country.  In 
1793,  capt.  Hood  was  employed  in  blockading  the  port  of 
Rochefort ;  and  afterwards  despatched  to  reinforce  the 
squadron  of  earl  Nelson,  previous  to  the  battle  of  the  Nile, 
in  which  capt.  Hood  bore  a  most  prominent  part,  he  behi£ 

the 


HOOD.  1103 

the  first  to  push  on  against  the  enemy,  and  capturing  le 
Guerrier  in  12  minutes  from  the  commencement  of  the  fire 
of  the  Zealous,  without  the  loss  of  a  man,  or  the  slightest 
injury.  He  next  engaged  alone  the  four  French  ships 
which  escaped,  until  called  off  by  signal,  sustaining  loss  in 
the  unequal  conflict  of  only  one  man  killed,  and  seven 
wounded.  Capt.  Hood  was  subsequently  honoured  with 
the  thanks  of  both  houses  of  parliament,  and  was  presented 
with  a  sword  by  the  city  of  London. 

After  the  victory  off  Abonkir,  admiral  Nelson  proceed- 
ed to  Naples,  and  left  captain  Hood  in  the  command  of  a 
squadron  on  the  coast  of  Egypt:  with  this  force  he  kept 
the  port  of  Alexandria  closely  blockaded.  He  also  con- 
tributed, in  a  material  degree,  to  serve  the  interests  of  Eng- 
land by  his  amicable  communications  with  all  the  pachas  and 
governors  under  the  grand  seignior,  and  particularly  with 
Jozza,  the  celebrated  pacha  of  Acre.  While  on  this  sta- 
tion, he  took  and  destroyed  more  than  30  sail  of  the  ene- 
my's transports ;  and  was  honoured  by  the  grand  seignior 
with  a  very  valuable  snuff-box. 

In  1799,  captain  Hood  joined  lord  Nelson  at  Palermo, 
and  was  employed  in  reducing  the  Sicilians  to  obedience 
and  expelling  the  French  out  of  the  kingdom  of  Naples. 
At  Salerno  with  only  40  marines  belonging  to  the  Zealous, 
captain  Hood  kept  in  check  a  force  of  3,000  men,  who 
were  attacking  that  place  :  twice  also  he  drove  the  French 
out  of  Salerno  by  the  fire  from  the  Zealous.  Captain  Hood 
was  afterwards  employed  on  shore  at  Naples,  in  taking 
charge  of  the  castle  of  Nuovo,  and  kept  the  city  perfectly 
quiet  during  the  sieges  of  St.  Elmo  and  of  Capua.  His 
Sicilian  majesty  acknowledged  these  services  by  present- 
ing him  with  a  valuable  box,  and  at  the  same  time  confer- 
ring on  him  the  rank  of  commander  of  the  order  of  St.  Fer- 
dinand and  of  Merit. 

In  1800,  he  was  appointed  to  the  Courageux,  of  74  guns  ; 
in  which  he  was,  for  some  time,  actively  employed  in  the 
Channel  fleet.  The  Courageux  afterwards  formed  part  of 
a  detached  squadron  under  sir  John-Boiiase  Warren,  K.B., 
at  Ferrol  and  Vigo,  until  Jan.  1801,  at  which  period  cap- 
tain Hood  removed  into  the  Venerable,  another  74  gun  ship. 
After  some  intermediate  services,  he  was  in  the  action 
of  the  6th  July  at  Algesiras  under  sir  James  Saumarez. 
Tiie  failure  of  success  in  this  battle  arose  entirely  from  the 
winds  failing :  the  Venerable  had  8  men  killed  and  25  wound- 
ed on  this  occasion.    After  this  action,  Linois,  the  French 

commander 


1104  HOOD. 

commander,  was  reinforced  with  5  Spanish  sail  of  the  line. 
Notwithstanding  the  crippled  state  of  the  English  ships,  sir 
James  Saumarez  determined  to  follow  up  the  enemy:  be 
did  so,  and  a  glorious  victory,  in  which  captain  Hood  bore 
a  distinguished  part,  was  the  consequence.  The  Venerable 
lost  all  her  masts,  and  had  30  men  killed  and  100  wounded. 
Captain  Hood  had  afterwards  the  satisfaction  of  receiving 
the  particular  thanks  of  the  lords  of  the  admiralty,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  unanimous  thanks  of  both  houses  of  parlia- 
ment, for  his  great  and  extraordinary  exertions. 

In  1h02  he  was  appointed  a  joint  commissioner  of  the 
Isle  of  Trinidad,  and  on  the  death  of  rear-admiral  Totty, 
was  appointed  commander-in-chief  on  the  Barbadoes  and 
Leeward  Island  station.  On  the  recommencement  of  hos- 
tilities, in  conjunction  with  general  Grenfleld,  he  captured 
the  islands  of  St.  Lucia  and  Tobago,  and  totally  destroyed 
the  enemy's  trade  in  those  seas.  He  next,  in  conjunction 
with  the  same  general,  captured  Demerara,  Isequibo,  and 
Berbice,  and  then  reduced  Surinam.  He  also  took  and  de- 
stroyed an  infinite  number  of  the  enemy's  privateers  and 
ships  of  war  on  the  Leeward  island  station;  and  protected 
trade  in  all  quarters,  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  all  par- 
ties. For  these  numerous  and  signal  services  he  was  ap- 
pointed a  knight  of  the  military  order  of  the  Bath. 

In  1805,  sir  Samuel  Hood  returned  to  England,  having 
previously  received  the  most  gratifying  addresses  from  the 
respective  legislative  assemblies,  and  accompanied  by  ele- 
gant services  of  plate,  as  presents  from  the  Leeward  islands 
and  Barbadoes.  After  his  return,  sir  Samuel  was  appoint- 
ed a  colonel  of  marines ;  and  early  in  1806  he  received  an 
appointment  to  the  Centaur,  under  the  orders  of  the  earl 
of  St.  Vincent,  who  gave  him  the  command  of  7  sail  of  the 
line,  and  other  vessels,  to  watch  the  enemy  at  Rochefort. 
After  some  months'  perseverance  in  this  service,  he  fell  in 
with  a  squadron  of  the  enemy,  consisting  of  five  large  fri- 
gates and  two  corvettes,  full  of  troops  :  in  the  action  which 
ensued,  sir  Samuel  was  severely  wounded,  and  was  after- 
wards under  the  necessity  of  having  his  right  arm  ampu- 
tated :  he  succeeded  however  in  capturing  four  of  the  fri- 
gates, notwithstanding  only  three  of  his  ships,  the  Centaur, 
Monarch,  and  Mars,  were  able  to  come  up  with  the  enemy. 
For  his  gallant  conduct,  and  in  consideration  of  the  severe 
injury  he  had  received,  his  majesty  was  pleased  to  order 
sir  Samuel  Hood  a  pension  of  500/.  per  annum.  Soon  af- 
ter this  period  sir  Samuel  Hood's  professional  services  ha-

1108  SEYMOUR. 

In  180(3,on  Lord  Barbara's  promotion  to  the  office  of  First 
Lord  of  the  Admiralty,  he  was  appointed  to  the  command 
of  the  Amethyst  Frigate ;  this  Frigate  had  been  cruizing  oft 
U Orient  14  weeks,  when  on  the  night  of  10  Nov.  1808,  the 
French  Frigate,  La  Thetis,  was  discovered,  which  after  a 
gallant  resistance,  was  captured  :  which  action,  for  gallant- 
ry, skill,  and  courage,  has  never  been  exceeded ;  and  of 
which  his  Majesty  was  pleased  to  signify  his  approbation  by 
presenting  Captain  Seymour  with  a  Gold  Medal;  the  Commit- 
tee of  the  Patriotic  Fund  at  LIoyd's-Coft'ee-House  voted  him 
One  Hundred  Guineas  ;  the  Mayor,  Alderman,  Sheriffs,  &c. 
of  Limerick,  voted  him  the  freedom  of  that  City  in  a  Sil- 
ver Box,  lt  for  his  very  great  gallantry  and  ability  in  the 
capture  of  La  Thetis."  The  next  instance  of  naval  gal- 
lantry exhibited  by  Captain  Seymour  was  the  capture 
of  Le  Niemen  French  Frigate  of  44  guns,  on  the  16th 
of  April,  1809;  the  Niemen  was  laden  with  provisions  and 
naval  stores  for  the  Isle  of  France,  and  had  just  sailed 
from  Verdun  Roads,  when,  in  the  forenoon  of  the  5th  of 
April,  she  was  discovered  by  the  Amethyst,  and  closely 
pursued,  but  was  lost  sight  of  in  the  course  of  the  evening ; 
and  at  half  past  nine  she  crossed  a  vessel ;  but  her  extra- 
ordinary sailing  prevented  any  encounter  from  taking  place : 
from  one  to  three  in  the  morning  of  the  6th,  the  vessels  ha- 
ving neared,  the  action  was  severe  ;  after  which  the  Ene- 
my's main  and  mizen  masts  fell,  and  his  fire  was  just  silen- 
ced when  the  Arethusa  appeared,  and,  on  her  firing,  the 
Niemen  immediately  made  a  signal  of  having  surrendered : 
the  capture  proved  to  be  the  same  Frigate  as  had  been  ob- 
served on  the  preceding  day,  and  which  had  been  recom- 
mended to  Captain  Seymour's  notice  in  Letters  from  the 
Board  of  Admiralty.  The  main  and  mizen  masts  of  the 
Amethyst  fell  at  the  close  of  the  action,  and  she  had  8  men 
killed  and  73  wounded ;  her  foremast  fell  the  next  day,  and 
she  was  left  in  tow  of  the  Arethusa.     15  May  1G09,  he  was

The 


CONGREVE.  1129 

The  family  of  Congreve  is  of  Saxon  origin  ;  the  ancestor 
of  it  settled  co.  Stafford,  when  Mercia  was  formed  the  6th 
kingdom  of  the  heptarchy,  anno  Domini  584. 

In  the  roil  of  Winton,  or  Doomsday-book,  which  was 
made  in  the  18th  year  of  king  William  I.'s  reign,  A.D. 
1078,  the  family  estate  at  Congreve,  near  Stretton,  co.  Staf- 
ford, is  particularly  described;  which  estate  still  remains  in 
the  possession  of  the  family. 

When  king  Richard  I.  (Cccur  de  Lion)  went  on  the  cru- 
sade to  the  Holy  Land,  1190,  Gal/rid  Congreve,  being  a 
military  man,  attended  the  king  on  that  occasion;  and   on 

his  journey  from  Ostend  to  Marseilles,  he  m. JDaw- 

bridgecourt,  of  Hainhault,  from  which  family  were  de- 
scended sir  Launcelot  Dawbridgeeourt,  one  of  the  first 
knts.  of  the  garter,  24th  Edward  III.,  1350,  and  sir  John 
Dawbridgeeourt,  who  was  a  knt.  of  the  same  order,  temp.

ford, and  grand-da.  of  sir  Richd.  de  Stretton  ;  by  which 
marriage  the  manors  of  Stretton  and  Sardon  came  into  the 
family.  1605,  Francis  Congreve,  of  Stretton  and  Congreve,

time  of  Edward  II.  till  1725.  This  family  suffered  greatly 
by  its  attachment  to  the  royal  party  during  the  civil  wars. 

John  Congreve,  aforesaid,  and  Mary  Nicholls,  had  issue  8 
sons.  The  eldest  son,  John  Congreve,  b.  at  Haywood-Park,

HUNTER,  of  the  City  of  London. 
15  Dec.  1812. 

Sir  CLAUDIUS-STEPHEN  HUNTER,  Bart.,  elected, 
1804,  Alderman  of  London  ;  born  24  Feb.  1774 ;  married 
Penelope-Maria,  only  da.  of  John  Free,  a  distinguished  Mer- 
chant of  London,  and  has  issue,  1.  John,  b.  26  May  1798; 
2.  Maria,  b.  20  Aug.  1800 ;  3.  Thomas-Claude,  b.  10  April 
1804;  and  4.  Samuel,  b.  8  Aug.  1806. 

Sir  Claudius  was  elected  lord  mayor  of  London,  and  the 
celebration  of  his  inauguration  as  chief  magistrate,  on  Sa- 
turday 9  Nov.  1811,  was  observed  with  much  more  than 
common  brilliancy,  in  consequence  of  his  royal  highness 

the 


HUNTER.  1135 

the  Duke  of  York  honouring  his  lordship  with  his  compa- 
ny ;  an  honour  that  was  never  before  conferred  by  any  of 
the  sons  of  his  present  majesty,  except  in  the  mayoralty  of 
sir  Brooke  Watson,  although  the  royal  family  have  very 
frequently  visited  the  several  lord  mayors  at  the  Easter  and 
other  festivals  at  the  Mansion-House. 

The  paternal  ancestors  of  the  present  bait,  were  citizens 
and  merchants  of  London,  of  considerable  eminence,  in  the 
reign  of  Charles  I.,  as  appears  from  the  family  records  in 
the  college  of  heralds,  and  more  particularly  from  the  deed 
of  settlement  of  estates  after  the  fire  of  London  ;  by  which 
certain  property  in  the  city  of  London  was  assigned  to  sir 
Claudius's  ancestors,  and  is  now  vested  in  Henry  Hunter,  of 
Beech-Hill,  esq.,  his  elder  and  only  brother,  lineally  de- 
scended from  Charles  Hunter,  esq.,  on  whom  the  property 
was  settled  by  that  deed.  John  Hunter,  son  of  Charles,  ha- 
ving made  a  considerable  addition  to  the  fortune  he  inhe- 
rited from  his  father,  purchased  the  family  estate  of  Beech- 
Hill,  above  mentioned,  where  himself  and  his  descendants 
chiefly  resided;  and  from  that  period  of  his  retirement  we 
do  not  find  any  of  the  family  engaged  in  mercantile  specu- 
lations. 

Henry  Hunter,  of  Beech-Hill,  co.  Berks,  esq.,  a  gentle- 
man of  the  most  polished  education,  and  the  most  engaging 
manners,  having  received  the  rudiments  of  his  learning  at 
Eton  school,  which  were  matured  by  study  in  the  univer- 
sity of  Cambridge,  as  fellow-commoner  of  Trinity  College^ 
and  finally  perfected  by  the  customary  tour  over  the  con- 
tinent of  Europe.  He  was  called  to  the  bar,  and  shortly 
after  m.  Mary,  3d  da.  of  William  Sloane,  esq.,  great  ne- 
phew of  the  celebrated  sir  Hans  Sloane,  bart.,  physician 
to  queen  Anne  and  king  George  I.,  and  (by  her  who  d.  19 
May  1822)  had  issue,  l.'Henry- Hunter  of  Beech-Hill ;  and 
%,  sir  Claudius,  who,  being  intended  for  the  profession  of 
the  law,  was  entered  a  student  of  the  Inner-Temple  ;  but 
the  prospects  of  success  at  the  bar  being  but  slight  and 
uncertain,  he  qualified  himself  for  the  practical  branch  of 
the  profession,  by  five  years'  service  and  tuition  under 
Messrs.  Beardsworth,  Bur!ey,and  Moore,  solicitors  of  great 
eminence  in  Lincoln's-Inn  ;  and  after  one  year's  farther 
education,  he  commenced  solicitor  in  Lincoln's  Inn.  While 
in  the  full  enjoyment  of  the  fair  profits  resulting  from  his 
professional  engagements,  he  was,  in  Sept.  1804,  solicited 
by  many  respectable  citizens  to  become  a  magistrate  of  Lon- 
don, and  was,  in  consequence,  unanimously  chosen  alder-

BLANK,  of  Blanefield,  co.  Ayr;  and  Culverlands, 

co.  Berks. 

26  Dec.  1812. 

Sir  GILBERT  BLANE,  Bart., created,  as  above,  M.D., 
one  of  the  Physicians  in  Ordinary  to  his  Royal  Highness 
the  Prince  Regent,  F.R.S.,  Member  of  the  Royal  College 
of  Physicians  in  London,  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Societies  of 
London  and  Edinburgh,  a  Proprietor  of  the  Royal  Insti- 
tution, and  a  Member  of  the  Imperial  Academy  of  Sciences 
of  St.  Petersburg. 

Sir  Gilbert  having  employed  ten  years  in  the  study  of  all 
the  various  branches  of  literature  and  science,  as  well  as  of 
medicine,  taught  at  the  University  of  Edinburgh,  finished 
his  professional  education  in  London :  he  was  particularly 
patronized  by  Principal  Robertson,  the  celebrated  His- 
torian, and  at  his  recommendation,  and  that  of  Dr.  W. 
Hunter,  he  lived  for  some  time  with  the  Earl  of  Holder- 
nesse,  as  Physician  and  Companion  to  that  accomplished 
Nobleman,  who  had,  in  the  course  of  his  life,  filled  some  of 
the  most  important  posts  in  the  State,  the  last  of  which  was 
that  of  Governor  to  the  Prince  of  Wales.  Soon  after  the 
death  of  the  Earl  of  Holdernesse,  Sir  Gilbert  embarked  in 
the  Fleet  which  left  England  at  the  close  of  1779,  under  the 
command  of  Sir  George  Rodney,  K.B.,  who  appointed  him 
Physician  to  his  Fleet  immediately  after  his  first  Victory, 
on  his  arrival  at  Gibraltar:  he  proceeded  in  this  character 
to  the  West  Indies  with  that  great  Commander,  and  con- 
ducted the  medical  business  of  the  Fleet  there  and  in  North 
America,  till  the  Peace  of  1783.  In  the  course  of  that 
splendid  and  important  service,  he  was  present  in  six  gene- 
ral engagements:  the  Fleet  to  which  he  was  Physician  re- 
ceived three  times  the  unanimous  thanks  of  both  Houses  of 
Parliament:  and  Sir  George  Rodney  ascribed  part  of  his 
success  to  those  medical  regulations  to  which  the  healthy 

state 


BLANE.  1141 

state  of  the  Fleet  was  owing.  On  Sir  Gilbert's  return  to 
England,  at  the  Peace  of  1783,  all  the  Flag-Officers  and 
Captains  of  the  Fleet  in  which  he  had  served,  recommended 
him  to  his  Majesty,  who  was  graciously  pleased  to  grant 
him  a  pension,  as  a  testimony  of  his  royal  approbation.  In 
1795  he  was  appointed  oue  of  the  Commissioners  of  Sick 
and  wounded  Seamen  ;  and  for  the  regulations  which  on  his 
suggestions  were  adopted  in  this  department,  and  for  his 
writings,  whereby  the  state  of  health  of  the  Royal  Navy  was 
improved  in  an  eminent  degree,  the  Lords  of  the  Admiralty 
testified  their  high  sense  of  his  merits  to  his  Majesty's 
Privy  Council  (see  Records  of  these  Offices,  1805);  upon 
which  he  received  an  additional  reward  for  his  services. 

Sir  Gilbert  has  also  been  employed  from  time  to  time  by 
the  Government  as  a  Member  of  the  Committee  for  framing 
Quarantine  Regulations,  in  visiting  the  public  Prisons  of 
the  Metropolis,  and  Depositaries  for  securing  and  trans- 
porting Convicts,  with  a  view  to  the  adoption  of  measures 
for  the  better  preservation  of  their  health,  and  checking 
contagion:  in  drawing  up  directions  for  the  transportation 
of  the  Army  from  Egypt,  so  as  to  avoid  the  importation  of 
pestilence  from  that  country ;  in  forming  a  scheme  for  the 
better  conducting  the  medical  service  in  India ;  and  lastly, 
he  was  sent  by  the  Cabinet  Council  to  the  Island  of  Wal- 
cheren  in  the  autumn  of  1809,  on  an  important  medical  mis- 
sion ;  upon  the  execution  of  which  special  service  he  re- 
ceived the  public  approbation  of  the  Commander-in-Chief 
of  the  Forces,  as  stated  in  the  parliamentary  documents  re- 
lating to  the  Expedition  to  the  Scheldt.  Sir  Gilbert  was 
also  consulted  by  foreign  nations  on  the  subject  of  medical 
police ;  among  others,  by  the.  Sovereigns  of  Russia  and 
Prussia,  by  both  of  whom  he  was  presented  with  gold  me- 
dals, in  token  of  their  approbation ;  and  the  President  of 
the  United  States  of  America  (Mr.  Adams)  wrote  him  a 
letter  of  thanks,  with  his  own  hand,  for  his  answer  to  a  re- 
ference which  had  been  made  to  him  respecting  the  yellow 

fever,

fever.  For  these  his  long  and  faithful  services,  and  for  his 
professional  attendance  on  his  Royal  Person  and  Family, 
The  Prince  Regent,  in  the  name  and  behalf  of  his  Majesty, 
was  pleased  to  advance  him  to  the  dignity  of  a  Baronet  of 
the  United  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  as  above. 
Sir  Gilbert,  born  at  Blanefield,  co.  Ayr,  29  Aug.  1749 
(O.  S.);  married,  11  July  1786,  Elizabeth,  only  daughter  of 
Abraham  Gardiner,  Merchant  (by  Mary  Newman ;  who 
m.j  2dly,  William  Gaskarth,  Esq.,  brother  of  Julia,  Countess 
of  Suffolk),  and  has  issue,  of  whom,  1.  Gilbert-Gardner ;  2. 
George-Rodney,  Lieutenant  of  Engineers  on  the  Bengal 
Establishment ;  he  signalized  himself  in  the  war  with  the 
Rajah  of  Nepaul,  and  was  wounded  at  the  side  of  General 
Gellespie,  who  fell  in  storming  the  Fortress  of  Kalunga  on 
the  31st  of  Oct.  1814;  d.  18  May  1821;  3.  Hugh-Seymour, 
Ensign  in  the  3d  Regiment  of  Foot  Guards;  he  served  in 
the  2d  Brigade  of  Foot  Guards  at  the  renowned  Battle  of 
Waterloo,  fought  on  the  18th  of  June  18i5.  This  Brigade 
was  posted  in  the  most  exposed  point  of  the  conflict,  and  in 
the  estimation  of  the  Duke  of  Wellington  was  the  most  dis- 
tinguished on  that  most  memorable  day;  for  the  Rev.  W. 
Noncrop,  of  Framlingham,  in  Suffolk,  having,  immediately 
after  the  battle,  intimated  to  the  Duke  that  it  was  his  wish 
to  settle  an  annuity  of  10Z.  for  life  on  the  soldier  who  had 
given  the  greatest  proof  of  courage  and  good  conduct,  his 
Grace  adjudged  it  by  referring  to  the  above-mentioned 
Brigade,  as  the  one  which  had  performed  the  most  signal 
service  on  that  day,  and  desiring  the  Officers  of  it  to  select 
a  man.  This,  they  accordingly  did,  and  pitched  upon  Ser- 
geant Graham,  one  of  their  Non-Commissioned  Officers.

The  name  of  Blane  is  of  great  antiquity  in  Scotland,  par- 
ticularly 


BLANE.  1143 

ticnlarly  in  the  western  parts  of  it :  from  the  great  number 
of  places  bearing  the  name  in  various  parts  of  the  kingdom, 
as  Strathblane,  Dumblane,  Kilblane,  Auchinblane,  Pkulane, 
&c.  Sec,  it  would  appear  to  have  been  numerous  and  re- 
spectable at  an  early  period,  more  particularly  about  the 
time  of  St.  Blaue,  one  of  the  most  celebrated  in  the  Scots' 
kalendar,  who  flourished  in  the  10th  century,  and  founded 
the  ecclesiastical  establishment  of  Dumblane,  which  be- 
came one  of  the  thirteen  bishopricks  of  Scotland. 

The  immediate  ancestor  of  this  family  was  Thomas  Blanc, 
esq.,  a  man  of  superior  education,  and  who  (/.  in  opulent 
circumstances  prior  to  1630;  he  m.  a  da.  of  Andrew  Ross, 
of  Trowier,  esq.,  by  whom  he  had  several  sons;  all  of 
whom,  from  their  letters  and  other  writings  still  extant, 
appear  to  have  received  a  very  liberal  education  :  of  these 
sons,  one  was  bred  to  the  law,  and  the  others  embarked  in 
mercantile  pursuits,  some  of  them  having  gone  to  Ireland, 
the  West  Indies,  &c.  Thomas  and  John  resided  at  Gir- 
van,  where  they  carried  on  a  successful  trade,  particularly 
with  Ireland,  and  acquired  a  considerable  property  in  land 
and  houses;  from  one  of  the  other  sons  descended  gen. 
Patrick  Blane,  of  Wigg,  co.  Wigtoun  (see  Records  of  Gen. 
Retours,  1665).  Thomas  Blane,  of  Girvan,  esq.,  m.  Helen 
Ross,  of  Chappeldonan,  and  was  great-grandfather  of  the 
present  bart  :  and  John  Blane,  of  the  same  place,  m.  Mar- 
garet, da.  of  Montgomerie,   of  Beoch,  esq.    (son  of 

Montgomerie,  of  Bridgend,  esq.,  a  cadet  of  the  noble 

family  of  Eglinton)  by  whom  he  had  a  son,  William,  who, 
by  the  da.  of  Stewart,  of  Fintilloch,  descended  from  the 
noble  family  of  Galloway,  he  had  2  sons,  Archibald  and 
Robert,  and  2  das.  Margaret  and  Elizabeth.  Archibald, 
the  eldest  son,  served  as  an  officer  in  the  army  in  Ame- 
rica during  the  seven  years'  war,  with  distinguished  repu- 
tation (see  Narrative  of  an  expedition  against  the  Ohio 
Indians,  Philadelphia,  1766);  having  m.  miss  Smith,  of 
Reading,  co.  Berks,  d.  without  issue;  Robert  Blane,  the 
younger  brother,  very  early  in  life  entered  the  service  of 
the  East  India  company,  in  which  he  highly  distinguished 
himself,  and  having  attained  the  rank  of  lieut.-col.,  he  re- 
turned to  England,  and  d.  anm.  in  1798.  He  was  present 
at  the  battle  of  Buxer,  under  sir  Hector  Munro,  in  1764, 
and  at  the  siege  and  battle  of  Cuddalore  in  178^,  where  he 
-  as  3  1  In  command  at  the  head  of  a  battalion  of  native 
troops,  which  he  had  formed  and  disciplined,  and  which  he 
conducted  by  land  from  Bengal  to   the  Carnatic,  a  route 

never 


1144  BLANK. 

never  before  attempted.  The  utmost  exeriions  were  called 
for  at  that  crisis,  to  prevent  the  British  power  from  being 
overwhelmed  by  Hydcr  Ali  and  the  French.  The  follow- 
ing extract  from  the  Annual  Register  of  1783,  will  suffi- 
ciently show  in  what  estimation  the  officers  and  men  of  this 
detachment  were  held : — "  Nothing  could  exceed  the  admi- 
rable behaviour  of  the  troops,  both  European  and  Sepoys, 
in  this  action  ;  it  was  equally  singular  and  extraordinary 
that  the  26lh  battalion  of  Bengal  Sepoys,  and  another  be- 
longing to  Madras,  fought  some  of  the  oldest  and  best 
troops  of  France  with  the  bayonet,  and  foiled  them  at  that 
European  weapon,  which  is  considered  as  the  most  trying 
test  of  the  firmness  and  excellence  of  soldiers."  The  writer 
of  this  was  informed,  by  Governor  Hastings,  after  his  re- 
turn from  India,  that  lieut.-col.  Blane  was  one  of  the  field 
officers  who  had  chiefly  distinguished  himself  in  leading  the 
Asiatic  troops  on  that  day.  Col.  Toone,  now  a  director  of 
the  East  India  company,  who  had  formerly  been  a  field- 
officer  in  India,  where  he  knew  him  professionally,  said, 
"  that  he  never  knew  an  officer  of  a  more  truly  military 
spirit :"  for  this  and  other  services,  he  was  presented  by 
the  government  of  India  with  a  valuable  sword,  with  an

his  1st  wife,  at  Royston,  aforesaid  ;  and  in  1795  succeeded 
.his  maternal  uncle,  col.  William  RadclifTe,  in  his  residence 
and  estates  at  Milnes-Bridge,  and  elsewhere,  co.  York; 
and  in  compliance  with  a  clause  contained  in  the  last  will 
and  testament  of  the  said  uncle,  took  the  surname  and  arms 
of  Radcliffe  only,  by  virtue  of  the  king's  royal  sign  manual 
bearing  date  19  Dec.  in  the  same  year.  He  has,  for  seve- 
ral years  past,  been  a  most  loyal  and  active  magistrate, 
being  one  of  his  majesty's  justices  of  the  peace  for  the 
counties  of  Lancaster  and  Chester,  the  county  of  Derby, 
and  the  West  Riding  of  Yorkshire,  and  deputy-lieut.  for  the 
said  West  Riding:  in  which  character  of  magistrate  he  so 
highly  distinguished  himself  by  his  determined  resolution 
to  discharge  the  arduous  duties  of  his  situation,  in  defiance 
of  all  the  dangers  that  threatened  him  (which  indeed  were 
truly  alarming),  as  to  induce  such  a  general  interest  in  his 
favour,  as  to  call  for  some  eminent  mark  of  the  royal  favour 
to  be  conferred  on  him;  which  probably  will  be  best  shown 
by  the  correspondence  which  took  place  between  the  truly- 
patriotic  and  accomplished  noble  lord-lieut.  of  the  West 
Riding  and  his  majesty's  ministers  on  this  occasion,  and 
became  the  foundation  upon  which  the  structure  of  this 
baronetcy  was  erected. 

Milton,  15  Dec.  1812. 

DEAR   SIR, 

Nothing  can  be  so  honourable  to  an  individual  as  when 
the  public  voice  calls  for  some  mark  of  public  consideration 
being  bestowed  upon  him:  I  have  reason  for  thinking  that 
the  disturbed  parts  of  the  clothing  district  feel  so  strongly 
impressed  with  a  sense  of  your  indefatigable  and  unremitted 
exertions  as  a  magistrate,  the  risks  and  dangers  you  have, 
and  are  now  braving,  with  undaunted  fortitude,  in  the  ser- 
vice of  the  country,  for  the  discovery  of  the  disturbers  of 
its  tranquillity,  that  it  is  the  earnest  wish  of  the  most  re- 
spectable gentlemen  that  an  honourable  mark  of  the  royal 
approbation  should  be  conferred  upon  you ;  such  an  one  as 
is  suitable  to  the  independent  fortune  you  possess,  and  the 
high  consideration  you  enjoy  among  your  neighbours.  Al- 
low me  to  ask,  would  a  baronetage  be  acceptable?  And  I 
must  go  farther,  and  still  put  another  question :  Would  it 

be 


RADCLIFFE.  116$ 

T>e  acceptable  to  you  to  receive  it  on  the  recommendation, 
and  at  the  solicitation,  of  his  majesty's  lieut.,  stating  the 
meritorious  services  (so  ample  a  field  for  description)  as  the 
ground  on  which  he  makes  his  request?  I  feel  the  ne- 
cessity of  being  explicit,  because  circumstanced  as  I  am 
with  the  administration,  I  can  ask,  as  an  individual,  no 
Favour;  nor  can  I  assume  that  you  would  receive  one  at  my 
hands  but  as  an  officer  of  the  crown.  I  feel  myself  justly 
entitled  to  recommend,  for  public  reward,  those  who,  in  the 
department  committed  to  my  superintendance  and  care, 
render  indisputable  and  essential  service  on  emergencies  of 
the  most  trying  and  alarming  nature.  I  have  but  one  word 
to  add,  which  is  to  assure  you,  that  it  will  be  most  gratify- 
ing to  me  to  receive  your  permission  to  proceed  in  this 
business :  being,  with  sincere  esteem, 

Very  truly  yours, 

Joseph  Radcliffe,  esq.  Wentworth  Fitzwilliam. 

sir,  Whitehall,  18  Sept.  1813. 

I  have  the  honour  of  communicating  to  you  the  gracious 
intention  of  his  royal  highness  the  prince  regent  forth- 
with to  confer  upon  you  the  dignity  of  a  baronet  of  the 
united  kingdom.  It  is  with  great  satisfaction  that  I  con- 
vey to  you  such  a  testimony  of  the  opinion  entertained  by 
his  royal  highness  of  that  loyal,  zealous,  and  intrepid 
conduct  which  you  have  invariably  displayed  at  a  period 
when  the  West  Riding  of  the  county  of  York  presented  a 
disgraceful  scene  of  outrage  and  plunder ;  and  by  which, 
in  the  discharge  of  your  duty  as  a  magistrate,  you  con- 
tributed most  materially  to  re-establish,  in  that  quarter, 
tranquillity  and  obedience  to  the  laws,  and  to  restore  secu- 
rity to  the  lives  and  property  of  his  majesty's  subjects. 
I  have  the  honour  to  be,  sir, 
Your  most  obedient  and  faithful  servant, 
Joseph  Radcliffe,  esq.  Sidmouth. 

Wentworth,  22  Sept.  1813. 

DEAR  SIR, 

This  morning's  post  brought  a  letter  from  lord  Sidmouth 
to  announce  the  pleasing  communication  of  the  regent's 
intention  to  confer  on  you  the  dignity  of  a  baronetage, 
li  in  consideration  of  your  exemplary,  useful  exertions  as 
a  magistrate  in  the  West  Riding  at  a  period  of  the  utmost 
difficulty,  alarm,  and  danger."     Though  lord  Sidmouth 

vol,  ii.  n  n  says 


117(3  KADCL1FFE. 

says  in  his  letter  that  he  shall  make  the  communication  to 
you,  I  cannot  retrain  from  troubling  you  with  these  few 
lines,  to  express  how  truly  I  consider  the  dignity  to  have 
been  earned  by  the  service  performed  ;  how  much  I  think 
it  for  the  public  interest  necessary  that  exertions  of  the 
nature  should  not  pass  unnoticed  by  government;  but  that, 
on  the  other  hand,  they  ought  to  be  held  up,  as  in  this 
instance  they  now  are,  as  examples  for  similar  exertions 
in  similar  emergencies  ;  and,  lastly,  to  add,  that  a  measure 
more  acceptable  to  the  West  Riding  could  not  have  been 
adopted  ihan  this  acknowledgment  (so  it  will  be  consi- 
dered) on  the  part  of  government  of  the  eminent  service 
rendered  by  your  exemplary  firmness  and  exertions. 
I  am,  dear  sir, 

Most  truly  yours, 
Wentworth  Fitzwilliam.

English  hospitality,  and  lived  in  the  respect,  esteem,  and 
friendship  of  the  neighbouring  nobility  and  gentry,  and  the 
love  of  his  numerous  tenantry ;  in  him  were  blended  all 
the  virtues  that  adorn  the  character  of  man  in  public  and 
private  life:  no  less  distinguished  by  the  most  amiable 
affections  of  the  heart,  than  a  stern  hostility  to  the  slightest 
deviation  from  truth  and  plain  dealing;  he  was  equally 
zealous  and  intrepid  in  the  cause  of  loyalty  and  social 
order,  having,  at  the  imminent  hazard  of  his  life,  and  the 
destruction  of  his  property,  rendered  the  most  essential 
service  to  the  state,  by  his  prompt  exertions  as  a  ma- 
gistrate during  a  period  of  local  insubordination,  danger, 
and  alarm,  in  the  year  1312.  The  sovereign  acknowledged 
his  merit  by  creating  him  a  baronet,  wilh  the  singular  fa-

6  May  1813. 

Sir  JOHN  HAMILTON,  Bart.,  Lieutenant-General  of 
his  Majesty's  Forces,  Colonel  of  the  2d  Ceylon  Regiment, 
Governor  of  Duncannon  Fort,  Knight  Grand  Cross  of  the 
Portuguese  Military  Order  of  the  Tower  and  Sword,  was 
created  a  Baronet  of  the  United  Kingdom,  as  above;  mar- 
ried Emily-Sophia,  daughter  of  George-Paul  Monke,  Esq., 
by  the  Lady  Araminta  Beresford,  daughter  of  Marcus,  Earl 
of  Tyrone,  and  sister  of  George,  Marquess  ofWaterford, 
and  has  issue  one  son,  James-John  Hamilton. 

Sir  John  Hamilton  is  a  lineal  descendant  of  the  Abercom 
branch  of  the  truly  ancient  and  noble  family  of  Hamilton, 
which  has  in  various  branches  been  ennobled  in  the  peerage 
of  the  three  kingdoms  of  England,  Scotland,  and  Ireland. 

James,  earl  of  Arran  in  Scotland,  and  duke  of  Chatel- 
herault,  in  France,  lawful  grandson  to  Mary,  the  sister  of 
king  James  III.,  of  Scotland,  had  three  sons,  whereof  the 
eldest  died  without  issue;  from  John,  the  2d,  the  present 
duke  of  Hamilton  and  Brandon  is  descended;  and  Claud, 
lord  Paisley,  the  3d  son,  was  the  lineal  ancestor  of  the  pre- 
sent marquess  of  Abercoru,  and  of  sir  John  Hamilton.  His 
second  son,  Claud,  having  settled  in  Ireland  about  1618,  in. 
the  da.  and  heir  of  the  Hamiltonsof  Manor- Elieston,  in  the 
co.  of  Tyrone,  and  left  issue,  sir  Wm.  Hamilton,  of  Manor- 
Elieston,  who,  by  the  lady  Beatrix  Campbell,  his  2d  wife, 
was  father  of  Claud  Hamilton,  of  Montaloney,  in  the  said 
county  of  Tyrone,  who  was  the  grandfather  of  James  Hamil- 
ton, of  Woodbrook  and  Strabane,  esq.,  who  m.  Elinor,  the 
sister  of  Andrew-Thomas  Stewart,  earl  of  Castlestewart,  in 
Ireland,  and  by  her  had  issue  the  present  baronet,  Sir  John

1194  HAMILTON. 

Hamilton,  who  early  in  life  embraced  the  profession  of  arms, 
and  signalized  himself  in  the  East  and  West  Indies,  on 
many  important  occasions,  particularly  at  the  escalade 
of  the  fortress  of  Gualiar,  the  storming  of  the  strong  forts 
of  Lahar  and  Bangalore,  and  in  the  several  actions  in  the 
Mysore  country  in  1791  and  1792.  In  1809  he  was  removed 
from  the  British  to  the  Portuguese  staff,  and  appointed  in- 
spector-general of  discipline.  In  the  recent  arduous  con- 
test in  Spain  and  Portugal,  the  conduct  of  sir  John  Hamil- 
ton has  been  conspicuous,  and  his  defence  of  the  town  and 
castle  of  Alba  de  Tonnes,  on  the  10th  and  11th  November, 
1812  (when  with  1500  men  he  succeeded  in  repulsing  more 
than  15,000  of  the  enemy  under  marshal  Soult,  aided  by  20 
pieces  of  artillery),  will  ever  be  remembered  to  his  honour. 
In  testimony  of  his  approbation  of  his  eminent  services,  the 
prince  regent  of  Portugal  conferred  upon  the  general  the 
insignia  of  a  knight  commander  of  the  order  of  the  tower 
and  sword,  and  subsequently,  the  king  of  Portugal,  that  of 
the  grand  cross  of  that  order  :  nor  have  the  merits  of  this 
officer  been  allowed  to  pass  unrewarded  by  his  own  sove- 
reign,— he  has  been  not  only  raised  to  the  dignity  of  a  ba- 
ronet, but  has  also  received  from  the  prince  regent  his  ma- 
jesty's royal  permission,  dated  20th  April  1815,  that  he  and 
his  descendants  may  bear  an  augmentation  to  his  arms,  and 
an  additional  crest,  allusive  to  his  defence  of  Alba  de 
Tonnes.

1196  CAMPBELL. 

1815,  and  nominated  a  knight  commander  of  the  most  ho- 
nourable military  order  of  the  Bath  in  1817.  He  served  in 
Gibraltar  dining  the  siege ;  in  India,  where  he  filled  various 
important  situations,  for  a  period  of  fifteen  years  ;  in  Ire- 
land, on  the  staff;  in  the  Peninsula,  under  the  duke  of  Wel-

wounded  in  the  battle  of  Talavera,  where  he  commanded 
the  4th  division  of  the  army;  and  in  the  isle  of  France, 
nearly  four  years.  And,  in  consideration  of  his  distinguish- 
ed services  in  various  parts  of  the  world,  he  was  created  a 
baronet,  as  above. 

Sir  Colin  Campbell,  of  Glenorchy,  m.  ,  Graham  of 

Inchbruky's  da.,  whose  mother  was  da.  to  Alexander  Alister, 
bishop  of  Inverary,  son  to  the  earl  of  Marr,  by  whom  sir 
Colin  had  Archibald-Gillespie-Dow,  0.  in  Aucharn.  The 
mother  dying  of  the  birth,  the  child  was  sent  privately  to 
the  isle  of  Mull,  with  a  nurse  of  the  name  of  Macleran,  and 
a  servant  lad  of  the  M'Intoshes.  After  two  years  in  Mull, 
he  was  brought  to  Auchalader,  and  fostered  with  the  M'In- 
toshes till  he  was  seven  years  old,  and  from  thence  he  wras 
sent  to  some  obscure  place  in  the  low  country,  where  he  con- 
tinued till  he  was  20  years  of  age.  When  sir  Colin  married 
Inchbruky's  da.,  he  was  only  the  youngest  brother  of  three. 
By  the  death  of  his  elder  brothers,  who  died  before  his  lady, 
there  stood  nothing  in  the  way  that  could  probably  obstruct 
his  ambition  of  getting  a  match  suitable  to  his  mind  and  for- 
tune, but  to  bury  his  new-born  son  in  oblivion,  which  was 
done  in  the  above  manner;  and  accordingly  sir  Colin  suc- 
ceeded in  his  design,  by  marrying  Catherine  Ruthven,  da. 
to  the  earl  of  Gowrey,  the  greatest  family  then  in  Scotland, 
as  appears  by  the  genealogical  records  of  the  family  of 
Argyll.

he  had  John-Dow,  sometime  of  Auchalader,  who  m.  Mary 
Stewart,  da.  to  Donald  (Inord)  alias  Stewart,  of  Inverna-

Duncan-Ladasich  M'Gregor;  her  mother  was  da.  of  the 
laird  of  Keer.  John  Stewart  of  Bohespich's  grandfather 
was  David  More,  laird  of  Garvich,  son  to  the  earl  of  Marr. 
Donald  (Inord's)  grandmother,   by  the  father's  side,  was 

Cameron,  da.  to  the  laird  of  Lochiel;  his  mother  was

sive possessions,  co.  Lanerk,  and  co.  Renfrew,  in  patrimo- 
ny, on  his  son,  sir  Robert,  and  was  himself  killed  at  the 
fatal  battle  of  Falkirk,  anno  1298,  against  Edward  I.,  with 
many  other  of  the  Scotch  nobility:  sir  Robert  probably 
fought  at  the  glorious  field  of  Bannockburn,  with  the  lord 
high  steward,  and  the  rest  of  his  family,  under  king  Ro- 
bert Bruce;  and  we  find,  that  in  the  following  year  he,  with 
three  of  his  brothers,  sir  Alan,  sir  Walter,  and  sir  Hugh, 
accompanied  Edward  Bruce  in  the  expedition  to  Ireland, 
1315  ;  and  he  was  also  present  at  the  battle  of  Dundalk, 
1318,  where  that  adventurous  prince  at  length  terminated 
his  career  ;  from  whom  descended  James  11th  baron  of  Al- 
lanton,  and  14th  in  descent  from  the  lord  high  steward  of 
Scotland,  h.  1715,  in.  1754,  his  cousin  Margaret  da.  of  Hen- 
ry«Steuart  Barclay,  of  Collernie,  co.  Fife,  esq.,  younger 
brother  to  sir  James  Steuart,  of  Goodtrees,  bart.,  M.P.  for 
Mid-Lothian,  in  the  1st  parliament  after  the  Union,  and 
afterwards  solicitor-gen.  in  the  reign  of  George  II.,  and  had 
issue,  1.  James,  b.  1755,  d.  1756  ;  2.  sir  Henry,  the  present 
bart. ;  3.  William,  d.  1775  ;  and  4.  Antonio,  d.  1775  ;  James, 
eldest  son,  deceasing,  was  succeeded  by  his  eldest  sur- 
viving son, 

I.  Sir  HENRY,  the  15th  in  descent  from  the  lord  steward 
of  Scotland. 

From  this  stock  have  sprung,  at  different  periods,  various 
families  of  the  name  of  Steuart:  among  these  are  the  Steu- 
arts  of  Kirkfleld  and  Coltness,  those  of  Goodtrees,  Allan- 
bank,  and  Mitcham;  as  also  the  Steuarts  of  Hartwood, 
Westbarns,  Carfin,  Alderston,  and  others.  It  is  deserving 
of  notice,  that  there  are  at  this  time  four  baronetages  in 
the  family,  including  the  present  grant  to  the  elder  branch 
of  it;  viz.  1.  of  Alunbank,  co.  Berwick,  which  branch  is  de- 
scended from  James  VI.,  baron  of  Allanton,  and  the  8th  of 
Daldowie,  who  d.  1607,  and  is  now  represented  by  sir  John- 
James  Steuart,  bart.,  2dly,  that  of  Coltness,  co.  Lanerk, 
which  branch  is  also  descended  from  the  said  James,  of 
Allanton  and  Dandowie,  and  is  represented  by  gen.  sir 
James-Denham-Steuart,  bart.,  col.  of  the  second  regiment 
of  dragoons,  or  Scots  greys;  3dly,  that  of  Goodtrees,  co. 
Edinburgh,  which  branch  is  also  descended  and  represented 
as  above ;  4thly,  that  of  Allanton,  as  conferred  on  the  pre- 
sent bart.     The  three  baronetages  first  mentioned,  are  by 

virtue

virtue  of  ancient  Scottish  patents  (vide  the  Baronetage  of 
Scotland);  and  it  is  a  remarkable  circumstance  that  they 
were  bestowed  upon  the  family  by  three  sovereigns,  of 
characters  considerably  different;  viz.  King  James  II.; 
William;  and  Queen  Anne;  and  all  in  consideration  of 
their  public  services.

"  Treatise  on  Dignities,"  has  given  the  following  summary

claimed  the  Barony  of  Chandos,  stating,  that  her  ma- 
jesty 


BRYDGES.  1213 

jesty  queen  Mary,  by  letters  patent,  in  the  first  year  of  her 
reign,  granted  to  sir  John  Brydges,  knt.,  the  title,  or  dig- 
nity, of  Baron  Chandos,  of  Sudcley,  to  hold  to  him  and  the 
heirs  male  of  his  body  for  ever.  That  the  said  John,  first 
lord  of  Chandos,  had  issue,  3  sons,  Edmund,  his  eldest  son  ; 
Charles,  his  second  son ;  and  Anthony,  his  third  son ; 
and  likewise  other  younger  sons.  That  the  title  of  haron 
Chandos  descended  to  the  eldest  son,  and  continued  in  his 
issue  male  until  the  death  of  William,  seventh  lord  Chandos 
without  issue  male,  when  the  line  of  Edmund,  eldest  son  of 
John,  first  lord  Chandos,  failed.  That  the  title  then  de- 
scended to  sir  James  Brydges,  bait.,  eighth  lord  Chaudos, 
who  was  the  great  grandson,  and  heir  male  of  the  body  of 
Charles,  the  second  son  of  the  first  lord  Chandos  ;  and  conti- 
nued in  his  issue  male  until  the  death  of  James,  duke  of 
Chandos,  in  1789,  without  issue  male ;  when  there  was 
a  total  failure  of  heirs  male  of  the  body  of  Charles,  the 
second  son  of  the  first  lord  Chandos ;  and  upon  such 
failure,  the  claimant  submitted  that  he  was  entitled  to 
inherit  the  same  honour  and  dignity,  as  heir  male  of  the 
body  of  Anthony,  the  third  son  of  the  first  lord  Chandos. 
The  attorney-general  reported,  that  he  conceived  the  claim- 
ant had  proved  himself  to  be  heir  male  of  the  body  of 
John,  first  lord  Chandos,  and,  as  such,  entitled  to  the  ho- 
nour and  dignity  of  baron  Chandos,  of  Sudeley,  by  evidence 
which,  although  not  without  some  difficulty,  would  be  pro- 
bably deemed  sufficient  to  prove  his  title  to  any  other  spe- 
cies of  inheritance,  the  foundation  of  which  was  laid  so  far 
back  as  1554.  16  June  1803,  the  petition  and  report  having 
been  referred  to  the  house  of  peers,  a  majority  of  the  com- 
mittee not  thinking  the  evidence  sufficient,  "it  was  re- 
solved, that  the  petitioner  had  not  made  out  his  claim  to 
the  title  and  dignity  of  baron  Chandos."  The  vote  by  which 
the  decision  on  the  claim  was  then  suspended  was  carried, 
on  a  division,  by  fifteen  to  seven  against  the  claimant.

Brugge,  lord  of  Brugge-upon-Wye,  co.  Hereford,  in  the 
time  of  Henry  III.  His  grandson,  John,  represented  the 
co.  Hereford,  16  Edward  II.,  and  was  father  of  sir  Bald-

sent lady,  Margaret-Charlotte  Carpenter,  sister  of  the  late

Dec.  1797.  In  the  year  1800,  he  was  appointed  Sheriff- 
depute  of  Selkirkshire,  and  in  1806,  was  made  one  of  the 
principal  Clerks  of  Session.  Having  been  distinguished  in 
consequence  of  his  literary  productions,  his  present  Majesty 
then  Prince  Regent,  was  pleased  to  confer  on  the  said  Wal- 
ter Scott,  the  rank  of  Baronet,  in  the  year  1820,  being  the 
first  title  of  distinction  bestowed  after  his  Royal  Highness 
had  obtained  the  unlimited  exercise  of  the  royal  prerogative, 
and  the  only  degree  of  Baronet  conferred  in  the  course  of 
that  year.  Sir  Walter  Scott,  besides  an  infant  child  which 
d.  soon  after  birth,  15  Oct.  1798,  has  the  following  surviving 
family,  1.  Charlotte-Sophia,  m.  to  John-Gibson  Lockhart,

The  descent  of  the  ancient  honorable,  and  powerful  fa- 
mily of  the  Scotts,  of  Harden,  may  be  found  in  Douglas's 
Baronage  of  Scotland,  p.  213,  and  therefore  is  not  here  re- 
cited. Sir  William  Scott,  of  Harden,  and  representative 
of  that  family  a  man  of  great  fortune  and  political  influ- 
ence 


SCOTT.  1251 

ence  d.  1655.  By  his  wife  Agnes  Murray,  da.  of  the  first 
lord  Elibank,  he  had  5  sons,  to  each  of  whom  he  left  a 
considerable  landed  estate  besides  that  which  descended 
to  the  eldest;  these  were  1.  sir  William,  heir  of  the  fa- 
mily, whose  line  is  now  extinct ;  2.  sir  Gideon,  of  High- 
chester,  whose  great  grandson  succeeded  to  the  family 
estate  of  Harden,  and  whose  descendant,  Hugh  Scott, 
esq.,  now  represents  that  ancient  family;  3.  Walter  Scott, 
of  Raeburn  ;  4.  James,  of  Thirlestone ;  5.  John,  of  Woll. 

Sir  Walter  Scott  is  descended  from  the  3d  of  these  sons, 
viz.  Walter  Scott,  of  Raeburn,  who  to,  Isabel  Makdougal, 
da.  of  Wm.  Makdougal,  of  Makerstoiin,  by  Margaret  Scott, 
da.  of  Walter  Scott,  of  Harden,  called  Auld  Watt.  This 
Walter,  of  Raeburn,  was  a  great  orientalist,  but  unhappily 
prosecuted  his  studies  in  the  Hebrew  language  until  he 
studied  himself  into  quakerism,  with  which  sect  his  lady 
also  complied.  The  privy-council  of  Scotland,  upon  the  pe- 
tition of  sir  William  Scott,  of  Harden,  Raeburn's  brother, 
and  Makdougal,  of  Makerstoun,  his  brother-in-law,  adopted 
the  rough  methods  used  in  that  time  to  cure  heresy ;  Rae- 
burn and  his  wife  were  imprisoned  in  the  jails  of  Edin- 
burgh and  Jedburgh,  their  children  were  forcibly  taken 
from  them  and  appointed  to  be  educated  at  Glasgow,  at  a 
distance  from  their  parents,  and  by  means  of  a  considerable 
annuity,  appointed  to  be  paid  out  of  Raeburn's  estate.  (See 
Sharpe's  life  of  Kirkton,  prefixed  to  his  history  of  the  Kirk 
of  Scotland.)  Nevertheless  Walter,  of  Raeburn,  died  pos- 
sessed of  the  lands  of  Eilrig,  Raeburn,  Muidlew,  Yetbyre 
and  others,  in  Dumfriesshire, and  a  valuable  property  around 
Lessuden,  in  Roxburghshire,  where  he  built  a  commodious 
mansionhouse  ;  he  d.  soon  after  the  Revolution,  leaving 
2  sons  and  a  da. ;  from  his  eldest  son  William,  is  lineally 
descended  the  present  Walter  Scott,  of  Raeburn. 

Walter,  second  son  of  the  1st  laird  of  Raeburn,  was  a 
man  of  considerable  classical  learning,  and  an  intimate 
friend  of  the  celebrated  Dr.  Pitcairn.  He  made  a  vow  to 
wear  his  beard  unshaved  until  the  Stuarts  were  restored 
to  the  throne,  whence  he  obtained  the  surname  of  Bearded 
Watt.  His  fortune  (originally  small  as  the  second  son  of 
a  cadet,)  was  much  impaired  by  the  part  he  took  in  politics  ; 

by  his  wife  Jean  Campbell,  da.  of Campbell,  esq.,  of 

Silvercraigs,  he  had  2  sons,  1.  Walter,  who  to.,  and  had 
issue  a  son,  Walter,  who  d.  in  America,  sine  prole;  2. 
Robert;  3.  William,  who  had  several  sons,  of  whom  the 
eldest,  James  Scott,  of  Prince  of  Wales  Island,  was  well 

known

known  as  one  of  the  most  intelligent  and  active  merchants  v 
in  India. 

Robert,  2d  son  of  Bearded  Watt,  was  bred  to  the  sea, 
but  being  shipwrecked  in  his  first  voyage,  betook  himself 
to  agriculture,  and  obtained  valuable  leases  from  his  kins- 
men, the  lairds  of  Harden  and  of  Raeburn,  the  last  of 
whom  became  his  son-in-law.  He  was  m.  to  Barbara 
Haliburton,  da.  of  Thos.  Haliburton,  of  New-Mains,  now 
called  Dry  burgh  Abbey,  the  representative  of  the  ancient 
and  honourable  family  of  Merton,  which  representation  by 
the  death  of  all  the  children  of  Thos.  Haliburton  without 
issue,  devolved  upon  Walter  Scott,  eldest  son  of  the  said 
Barbara  Scott,  and  Thos.  Haliburton.  See  a  little  unpub- 
lished genealogical  tract  entitled,  Memorials  of  the  Hali- 
burtons. 

Robert  Scott  resided  upon  Sandyknow,  a  farm  belonging 
to  Harden,  and  being  a  very  shrewd  and  intelligent  man, 
is  believed  to  have  been  the  first  person  in  Roxburghshire, 
who  ever  acquired  a  considerable  fortune  by  his  skill  in 
agriculture;  he  left  5  sons  and  4  das.,  of  whom  it  is  only 
necessary  to  mention  the  sons,  namely,  1.  Walter,  of  whom 
presently ;  2.  Thomas,  who  followed  his  father's  profession, 
and  d.  in  1822,  at  the  advanced  age  of  91  and  upwards  ; 
he  was  twice  m. ;  1st.  to  Barbara,  da.  of  Walter  Scott,  of 
Raeburn,  his  cousin ;  2dly  to  miss  Rutherford,  of  Know- 
south  :  3.  Robert  Scott,  of  Rosebank,  a  capt.  in  the  sea 
service  of  the  East  India  company,  unm.;  4.  John,  also 
bred  to  the  sea,  who  d.  unm.  in  consequence  of  an  injury 
received  in  the  course  of  his  duty. 

Walter  Scott,  eldest  son  of  Robert  Scott,  in  Sandyknow, 
was  b.  11  May  1729.  He  was  bred  a  writer  to  the  signet, 
or  conveyancer,  and  was  eminent  for  his  general  worth  and 
respectability,  as  well  as  for  skill  in  his  profession.  He  m.

hill.  Dr.  Rutherford,  was  professor  of  medicine  in  the 
University  of  Edinburgh,  and  one  of  the  four  pupils  of  the

the  son  of  the  rev.  Edward  Pocock,  vicar  of  Chieveley,  co. 
Berks,  and  was  himself  rector  of  Childrey,  in  that  co.

O.S.  and  entered  the  naval  service  at  the  age  of  11  years, 
under  the  auspices  of  his  uncle  visct.  Torrington,  and  was 
present  on  board  the  admiral's  ship  the  Barfleur,  in  the 
memorable  victory  gained  by  that  distinguished  commander 
in  the  year  1718,  off  the  coast  of  Sicily,  when  the  whole  of 
the  Spanish  fleet  was  either  taken  or  destroyed.  He  was

in  command  under  admiral  Watson ;  was  soon  after  pro- 
moted to  be  R.A.  of  the  blue,  and  on  the  death  of  admiral 
Watson  in  1757?  succeeded  him  in  the  chief  command  of 
the  English  fleet  in  those  parts.  With  an  inferior  force  he 
gained  three  signal  victories  over  the  French  fleet,  com- 
manded by  the  count  D'Ache,  and  before  the  close  of  1758,

East  India  company,  his  statue  was  erected  in  the  India 
house,  and  his  sovereign  bestowed  on  him  the  order  of  the
